Question : Hi. I have had pain in my back and groin on right side since this morning. Only hurts when I stand and walk, goes away when I sit. I have a history of a cyst between L3&4. Should I seek immediate care or tough it out a few days? Pain about a 7 out of 10 when I walk, 0-1 when I sit. Thanks!

Brief Answer:
You can wait for a few days and see.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the groin that increases on standing is likely to be related to a muscle spasm or a mild nerve compression. It is not likely to be a serious issue. You can take rest for a few days and take a mild pain killer and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
