I have strange leg pain, please help diagnose

5 weeks ago, I was messing around on a friends wheelchair, doing wheelies, and fell. I seem to have pulled something. The problem area is where my leg meets my hip, right in that joint. The best way to explain the location is right where your two legs meet, but on the left leg, left of the groin area.I am fine during most of the day, but any angular movement is terribly painful. I can not do a lot, like sex, out of the question. If I do, I can not bend my leg up towards my chest, so a squatting position is out of the question.I know nothing is broken.Here is what is weird; when it happens, I go into uncontrollable shivers. I mean, more than any it is cold out shivers, very strange. Entire body shivers.One other thing I have noticed, my urine is much darker, more yellow brown, but not sure it is related.Any ideas?I know, I should go to the doctor, but every time I do, they never find anything, they do not give me pain meds, and they just piss me off. It will go away the second I drop 500.00 on a visit

Boy you need to go and check that out because you need to heal it. Take a copy of what you have written with you and read to the doctor - I am sure they will see that this is not a made up problem.

If money is a problem, go to your local Health Department; that sounds serious. You may have some internal hemmorhaging or bruised your kidneys somehow, at the very least pinched a nerve bundle somewhere.

Good luck.

I agree: you do need to see a doctor. I haven't really heard of anything like this.

Playing House here, here are some possibilities that I (not a doctor) can see:

1. You ripped a muscle, which has caused a hernia, which only puts pressure on whatever part of your anatomy protrudes through the hernia--only it's sort of inside your joint so it's hard to see. When you do put pressure on it, it's causing a reaction that causes you to shake. If part of what is protruding is your urethra before it enters...whatever exit you possess, it could be causing it to bleed, discoloring your urine.

2. You've pulled a tendon or ligament, and the color in your urine is from something else.

Some medicines can cause urine to discolor, or blood in the urine can do it, too. Your doctor will likely run a test to determine if it's blood, if you're not on any meds or supplements that would do it.

I've actually experienced something just like this when I was pregnant, and it was pressure on a nerve. My urine was fine, because it was just the baby who would shift positions once in awhile and cause that nerve to be pinched. Same location, causing me such excruciating pain that I would writhe, and get sort of a jerking all across my body--like violent shivers. The area would ache for awhile afterwards. But after a couple of months of this, she wasn't in a location to do this any longer.

Get to a doctor, because none of the scenarios I can think of will end well.

The dark urine is probably coincidental & unrelated to the injury...drink more water all during the day, not just a half-gallon when you feel thirsty. The injury? No idea. Sounds like a hard muscle spasm clamping on anerve. There are probably sports medicine sources for more information.
