I am 4 weeks after radical prostatectomy and I have the predicted side effects that I am managing however I also have stinging pain in my right groin when twisting or putting any stress on the groin joint. Walking is ok but getting in and out bed is difficult and I have to sleep on my back. To date surgeon, nurses etc have not been concerned and I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

Hi,  After many years of reading on here I can't say I've heard of that.  There is a lot of healing going on in that area so not fiddling about is probably wise for a few weeks more.  It might need a scan of some kind, an exercise to loosen it or just time.

Some experimentation about exactly when it starts and ends and what movement makes it worse or better might give a clue and whether it's getting slightly better.

From my own experience of a sudden onset hip pain that was agony I noticed subtle changes over time and at one point thought there would always be something but after 6 months it was gone.  The GP gave me Ibuprofen cream but it didn't have any effect, he suspected arthritis.

Thanks Peter I have been in contact with my surgeon and he doesn’t seem unduly concerned so I guess I will have to be a patient patient
