What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Groin Area With Multiple Herniated Disc?

Hi, I m experiencing a fluttering, bubbling, odd sensation to left groin region. I also have increased pain to left lower back, mild discomfort when sitting to upper thigh. Pain is minimal to non existent when laying down . I have multiple herniated disk to lumbar and cervical spine. I had an epidural/facet injection to lumbar approx a month ago. Could this strange sensation be symptoms of femoral aneurysm, nerve damage or inflammation, muscle spasm? Should I be really concerned? I don t feel a mass to this area at this time.

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As you have multiple level disc degenerative changes you need an MRI to understand the nerves involved as because of nerve involvement the sensory system gets disturbed and gives such feels pain, bunnling, etc.

Also, undergoing physical therapy for the same will help.reduce pain by use of therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. As research supports the evidence of benefits of exercise one should try it out and maximum benefits are regained.

In my clinical practice also, such cases recover with physical therapy.
