hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
a thorough clinical examination is advised.
as she is having groin pain I suspect it to be muscle pain and needs physical therapy. Also this looks even a pinch of nerve in the lumbar spine which needs a thorough clinical examination.
As with physical therapy the ROM of the hip will improve and also the strength in the muscles.
In my clinical practice such cases are referred to physical therapy and with exercise they respond well.
