I'm a 17 year old female. About 8 months ago I started experiencing a light throbbing pain in my right groin. It went away after a few days but began to come back every couple weeks or so. It's now increased in pain and feels like an intense pulsing.
I don't feel it all the time, but when I do, it hurts a lot. It doesn't feel sharp, but it feels very 'focused' on this one small area. There aren't any lumps or swelling, so I don't think it's lymph nodes or a hernia. I can tell it's definitely not joints/ligaments/muscle, because 1) I never injured it, and 2) I've felt pain in joints/muscles and this feels very different.
I'm panicking because I read up on the arteries in that area and all the life-threatening conditions it could be. Could it be a blood clot??
Or could it be a femoral aneurysm?? That's kinda what it feels like (symptoms are often throbbing groin pain)! Has anyone else experienced groin pain like this for so long?? Advice is appreciated; I'm getting super anxious here :scared15::scared15:
