Back in high school when i started weight training I remember feeling that I had strained/injured my groin while squatting. I told my coach about the pain in my groin that I was experiencing and he kind of brushed it off and said i was fine. Fast forwarding through the years I've always remembered distinctive pains in roughly the same area of my groin (first time i noticed this was maybe 15)
about six months ago while leg pressing i again noticed this pain in my lower groin. I decided to stop weight lifting entirely because it kept seeming to give me problems.
I've noticed over the last few months a bulge in my groin that seemed to be a swollen lymph node. I feel like it could be a hernia, but it isn't visible and only really noticeable by feel. rest and relaxation has made the pains subside, but the mass remains (and seems to have grown slightly.)
I was under the impression that if it were a hernia it'd be a visible lump with textbook symptoms like it pushing out from strain. (this mass doesn't seem to)
I've also noticed stiffness in my right leg, and occasional stomach discomfort in the lower right region of my abdomen caused by gas pains.
Resting has certainly made whatever pain I was experiencing dissipate, though in the back of my mind I have these uneasy feelings about my lymph node being swollen.View Thread

That's really interesting. I never thought about how lower back pain could be associated with cancer but now I know. Thank you for educating us and sharing your experiences with us.View Thread

Since you posted in the cancer community, I assume that was your concern! I'm sorry about the pain but glad you have test results!
Sunny and breezy in Southern California - not going to complain! Hope you have a pain free day today -

Also, did you ever go back and give a urine sample? Be sure to do that - you might have a kidney infection or another illness that can be detected by testing your urine.
If you're really feeling anxiety or if your symptoms have gotten worse, please call your doctor and see if he can see you earlier or speed up the test results.
I applaud you for going to the doctor - many teens avoid addressing health issues! Keep us updated please and best to you -

No one can diagnose a condition over the internet. Is there a possibility he can get to a big city or another location where there is more advanced medical care?

Stay Hydrated. Diarrhea and vomiting combined with low fluid intake can cause dehydration. Signs of dehydration may include a dry or sticky mouth, sunken eyes, low urine output (urine is dark yellow when it is concentrated), and an inability to produce tears. Drinking plenty of water can help you avoid dehydration.
I'm not sure about the Gatoraid. Please do check with his doctor to see if there is a better alternative to keep his sodium in check -
