CC: Groin Pain?

Patient complains of pain not in the groin but next to it. No burning, no sharp pain, pain increased with walking or rotation of the knee internally and externally. There was a big tear near the groin but it is healed.

Hip Flexion slows as getting above 90 degrees but stays straight with lifting and does not rotate to the lateral side with lift. Patient winces once the angle of tension is above 90 degrees.

What i have done so far:

  • Needling towards pelvic bowl to release hip flexion and extend range to 120 degrees easily
  • TFL and Adductors showed tension with Rotation of Knee and range was below 45 degrees rotation with internal/external rotation so we released it.

Pain is improved and range is improved but there is still tension in the areas of GB27/28 area that leads down to the L/ side crease outside of the genitals.

He has had this issue in the past and it resolved for a while. I am unsure what is actually happening here or how I could assess this further.

I hopefully got enough information here. I don't work in the groin area that often.
