<strong>Pain</strong> in the left groin that extends to the thigh.<br />

History<br />

A 21-year-old lacrosse player presents with an 8- month history <strong>of</strong><br />

pain in his left groin that radiates to his left upper thigh. <strong>The</strong> patient first<br />

developed these symptoms after an arduous lacrosse practice. He continued<br />

to practice in discomfort over the next several days, and was<br />

evaluated subsequently by his team doctor who treated him with ice and<br />

anti-inflammatories. Despite these treatments, his pain persisted and he<br />

was unable to perform explosive lateral movements. Ultimately he<br />

underwent two cortisone injections in the groin, which enabled him to<br />

complete the season in variable degrees <strong>of</strong> pain. After the season he<br />

avoided all athletic activities for 4 weeks, which resolved his symptoms<br />

completely. However, he returned for summer league lacrosse, and his<br />

groin and thigh pain returned immediately with strenuous activities.<br />
