What Causes My Groin Area Became Quite Sore?
I m a 27 y/o female in moderate shape (normally fit, but currently a little out of shape). I went on a long hike with my friends (maybe 6 hours) up a mountain which is normally no trouble for me. It was on a fairly steep incline, with lots of climbing over fallen trees. Half way up the mountain, my groin and area around the pubic bone became quite sore. After returning down the mountain I could barely walk. I can now barely walk at all and am in about a 7.5/10 pain in my groin. I am icing and took an anti-inflammatory. However, I am very concerned about this pain and unsure where it is from. I have no previous history of this sort of pain (with the exception of pain here when running over 10k when in good shape).

Very UNLIKELY to be an internal issue like PCOS/STD/endometriosis/etc.
And I suspect that walking triggers it further implying a musculoskeletal condition.
Inguinal hernias can also feel similar
