Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
I am sorry that you are suffering from this injury. The ligaments of pregnant women in their hips get looser from pregnancy, and that can make you more vulnerable to a hip or groin injury.
So I recommend seeing an orhipedic specialist to diagnose exactly how you hurt yourself, and possibly give you a cane to help you walk until this gets better.
In the meantime, there is no reason that you cannot take adult strength Tylenol, even extra strength. Tylenol has been tested for safety in pregnancy in the full adult dose. So if you take adult Tylenol, you may be able to get some relief.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.
Besy wishes,
Dr. Brown
