inguinal tendon swelling .. I think

[bz123]

Hi everyone! I have had swollen right inguinal tendon for MONTHS probably like 9 months. It has gotten worse over time, probably because in the beginning I kept forcing myself to workout. The first doctor I went to told me it was in my mind and there was nothing wrong with me. I really hoped that was the case so I kept lifting heavy. The inflammation doesn't go away after resting for a month and anti inflammatory. Now that I think about it, I'v had a bad right hip my whole life, when I would squat I would feel myself shift to the side due to the fact that my hip wouldn't open as much as my left. Anyways, inflammation doesn't go away and I'm kinda starting to feel pain on my left side too. Doctor said I can only do cardio and no lifting, so I did that for like 2weeks and the pain started radiating to my inner right thigh and then to my knee (it even started feeling swollen). I got a ct scan done and there's no hernia. I'm honestly so tired of this, I pretty much lost all my muscle since I haven't been able to properly lift in months. Every time I look up my symptoms online it doesn't say anything I can relate too. Is anyone out there going through the same thing, I feel like I'm alone rn lol

Are you sure that it's not sciatica? Radiating pain sounds like sciatica to me. Get an MRI done for your spine. If the bulging disc bursts, things will get a lot worse, very very quickly.

Also, for antiflammatory, consider taking a good absorbable Turmeric/Curcumin supplement (something that has BioPerine in it). Eating a raw onion with dinner can also help a lot.

I really hope not :/ but I do have a doctors appt on Tuesday so I'll be sure to mention it! I also did buy tumeric pills but I heard I can't take them with the current anti inflammatories Im taking, I was going to ask my doctor that as well. Im thinking of just stopping the medication and taking the turmeric pills instead because so many people have recommended them to me.

Must be a NSAID. Turmeric has a similar pain reducing effect without the side effects of NSAIDs. Consider taking the turmeric capsules with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to increase curcumin absorption. You can also make a paste of ginger and garlic and consume it with food for extra efficacy.
