Slipped getting out of the shower...

KacieLeigh · July 2012

and hurt something in my groin. I don't know how to explain where the pain is - but it is HORRIBLE. I got out of the shower to open the door for my little girl who was mad that the door got shut. I somehow slipped on the tile and caught myself, but it feels like I pulled something. I would almost say it was my sciatic nerve (because of where I feel the pain) but could slipping make a nerve flare up like that? It's only on my right side, kinda where you would shave your bikini line between your legs. I can barely walk and doing anything that requires my legs to move apart very far is excruciating.

Any suggestions besides Tylenol and a hot bath?

Ugh, I'm sorry you did that--but glad it wasn't worse!! Sounds like something similar to what I did a few days ago when I walked in the house and slipped on the tile because my flip flops were wet from the rain. It hurt really badly between my legs for about a day or so, then the pain was gone.......or maybe I just forgot about it in my "normal" aches and pains these days, hah! Anyway, hope you feel better very soon!!

sounds like you pulled a groin muscle. i've done that before and it hurts like crazy for a day or two. try and relax, but dont stop moving it all together.

I don't have any advice but the same exact thing happened to me about a week ago! It hurt reallllly bad that night, especially turning over in bed, and the next day but then completely went away. Hope it feels better fast for you too.

It sounds like my SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction). Does it feel like you are going to split in half at the groin if you take a step? I've had SPD since 20 weeks, which is abnormal, but it's common in 3ird tri. The thing that helped most was a warm rice sock (yep, on your crotch) and visits to a chiropractor.
