Question : Without any previous symptoms, I started with pain in the right groin area. Previous to that, still on the right side, i was experiencing pain in the right thigh above the knee. That has since past, however, this groin pain came on suddenly and is moderately painful. What could possibly be going on and should I go to the nearest emergency room.
