Brief Answer:
I want to know little detail about your conditions

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your question and it looks to me that your groin pain and knee pain are two different disease. I want to know little detail about your illness .
1. Since when you are having groin pain? How this groin pain was started?
2. Does this groin pain get relieved on rest?
3. Can you use stairs or squat?
4. Do you hear any cracking sound from your knee?
Please answer these questions. I will try my best to help you.
Thanks.

Pain in groin goes when in sitting position.
Unable to do full squats.
Do not get cracking or any other sound from knee.
Have found to-day that much heavier pulse at femoral artery in left leg than right.
Possible Femoral Hernia?

Brief Answer:
It can be a hernia in groin and knee arthritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir,
After reading your history and your answers to my question I think you may be having a knee arthritis which is causing pain in knee. For confirmation you need to do a x ray of the knee joint in standing position.
If there is sign of knee arthritis then I would suggest you to follow these advice.
1. Avoid squatting and ground level work. Also do not use stairs.
2. You can take steroid shot after consulting with your doctor.
3.Take calcium and vitamin D 3 tablet daily.
For your groin pain, I would suggest you to get ultrasound of that region. If there is any hernia it will be confirmed with that test.
I do not think that there is any feature of DVT in you; so no need to think in that direction.
I hope this answer will help you. Let me know if you want to ask any other question. Thanks and take care.
