What Causes Pain In Groin Area?

I have been experiencing sharp pain in my groin area. Often I do not need to do anything for it to be there. But sometimes when the pain is not noticeable just crossing my legs on the or in a chair brings the pain once again. My doctor did an x-ray of my right hip and it came back fine. I would like to get an MRI but the doctor thinks that physical therapy will help it. I first started getting these pains about 10 years ago, mostly intermittent pain with lengths of time between instances. Today it is everyday and I am using a can 50% of the time.
