Do NOT force movement or try to “walk it off” Keep the person resting and supported Use a cold pack (15–20 min) if pain is recent Avoid massage or pressure until diagnosis is clear. –This situation needs a physical exam and X-ray or ultrasound Please take him to:- orthologist to rule out pathology. —it can be any fracture, septic arthritis if fever is present . Plz confirm this first -Was there any fall or twist? Any swelling or fever? Can he walk at all? ----Probable Dx: Vataja groin/hip pain (Sandhigata Vata) ---- Internal 1) Sahacharadi Kashayam – 15 ml + warm water, BD before food 2) Yogaraja Guggulu – 1 tab BD after food 3) Gandharvahastadi Erandam Dose: 5 ml at bedtime with warm water- Stop if cause loose motion — External Kottamchukkadi Thailam – local application BD + hot fomentation — Advice Rest, avoid strain, take warm diet ---------rule out Hip fracture urgently

Thank you. No hip fracture. Pain has now moved back to sacrum and buttucks. No more pain in groin.

Then go for these medicines

No swelling and no fever

I understand your concern.In older adults, this can be something simple like a muscle strain—but it can also be a serious condition that should not be missed. Depending on symptoms, we may consider: Sandhivata – degenerative joint pain (hip/osteoarthritis type) Gridhrasi / Vatavyadhi – nerve-related radiating pain Mamsa-kandara kshobha – muscle/tendon strain Vata aggravation in kati-vankshana pradesha (lower back-groin region) Medicines - Mahayograj Guggulu – stronger variant in selected cases Dashmool Kwath / Kashayam – anti-inflammatory, Vata calming Rasnadi / Rasna Saptak Kwath – stiffness and pain Ashwagandha – weakness/recovery support Mahanarayan taila gentle local application Also check for hernia first Warm fomentation after oiling (if no acute swelling) Kati Basti / Hip basti

Hello, I understand this is very painful and concerning. Since the pain is intense and making it hard to move the leg, it could be anything from a severe muscle tear to a hip issue or even a hernia. ​ ​Ayurveda ke according, ye Vata Dosha ke prakop (aggravation) ki wajah se hota hai, jo muscles aur joints mein stiffness aur “Shoola” (pain) paida karta hai. ​ Medicines : 1. ​Dhanwantharam Thailam: Is tel ko halke haath se dard wali jagah par lagayein (upward strokes mein). Ye nerves aur muscles ko relax karta hai. 2. ​Sahacharadi Mezhukupakam: Agar dard bohot intense hai, toh 10-15 drops garam doodh ya pani ke saath din mein do baar (khana khane se pehle). 3. ​Ksheerabala 101 Capsules: 1 capsule din mein do baar khana khane ke baad. Ye degenerative changes aur vata dard mein kaafi asardat hai. ​ ​Leg lifting avoid karein aur bed rest lein. ​Dhanwantharam thailam lagane ke baad halki garam potli se sek (fomentation) karein. ​Thanda khana aur baadi (gas-forming) cheezein jaise chana ya rajma avoid karein. Hamesha garam aur taaza khana khayein.

In an elderly person, sudden groin pain with difficulty lifting the leg should not be ignored. It can be due to muscle strain, hip joint problem, nerve compression, or sometimes even a fracture (especially if there was a minor fall or weakness). Because movement is restricted, this needs prompt medical evaluation, especially an X-ray of the hip if pain is severe. Until then: • Avoid walking or putting weight on the painful leg • Keep the leg in a comfortable resting position • Apply mild warm compress if it gives relief (avoid strong heat) • Do not massage deeply or force movement If there is swelling, fever, worsening pain, or inability to stand, seek urgent medical care. Supportive care: • Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food • Maharasnadi Kwath – 15 ml with warm water twice daily • Dashmool Kwath – 15 ml twice daily after food This can help reduce pain and inflammation, but investigation is important first in this age group to rule out hip joint or bone injury. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

In an elderly person when there is intense groin pain for a few days along with difficulty in lifting the leg it should not be taken lightly because this kind of pain often indicates involvement of the hip joint or nearby structures and at this age even a small strain or weakness in bones can lead to hip fracture or flare up of osteoarthritis of the hip and sometimes even inguinal hernia can present in a similar manner so first it is important to understand the exact cause rather than just controlling the pain Do not delay evaluation it is better to get an x ray of the hip joint done as early as possible and if the pain is severe even after a normal x ray then further imaging like mri may be required until proper diagnosis is done avoid making him walk or put weight on that leg give complete rest and support while moving and observe if there is any swelling in the groin area or any change in leg position like shortening or outward turning This condition shows aggravation of vata in the joint region but in elderly sudden severe pain should always be assessed properly before starting treatment once serious causes are ruled out you can start gentle application of warm mahanarayana thailam over the affected area along with internal medicines like yograj guggulu one to two tablets twice daily after food with warm water and dashamoola kwath fifteen to twenty ml twice daily after food with equal quantity of warm water depending on digestion along with light warm food and proper rest Timely care will help in avoiding complications and improve recovery if there is any history of fall fever or visible swelling it is better to mention for better understanding of the condition

An elderly man with severe groin pain + difficulty lifting leg should not be taken lightly first rule out serious causes like hip joint pathology, fracture, hernia, or nerve compression. If pain is very severe or he cannot walk → X-ray / doctor exam is जरूरी. If no trauma and symptoms are mild–moderate, you can try simple Ayurvedic management Internal Medicines Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food Mahayograj Guggulu (if pain severe) – 1 tablet twice daily Dashmool Kwath – 15 ml with equal water twice daily before food Helps in Vata shaman + pain relief External Treatment Apply Mahanarayan Taila or Sahacharadi Taila → Warm oil, massage gently over groin & hip → Follow with mild hot fomentation (steam or hot cloth) → Twice daily 3. Simple Home Remedy Dry ginger (Sunthi) + milk → ½ tsp powder in warm milk at night Avoid sudden movement / weight bearing Give rest to affected leg Avoid cold exposure, वात increasing food (dry, cold, excess walking)
