    Is there a possibility I pulled a tendon in my groin area?
    Having a very sharp pain in my hip/groin area and the pain is very deep. I am feeling a pull all the way down to my knee cap and at certain angles, my toes. Is this just a simple pulled groin? My outer muscles don't hurt. It's deep almost like it is actually where my leg bone is connected to my hip bone.

    Given that pain comes from nerves, not muscles or tendons or vessels or bones, it's often difficult to diagnose pain that follows a path like this unless there's something visible like a hernia. Don't I know - I spent over 30 years with pain that went from the left of my abdomen, down my groin, inner thigh and knee, and toes. To me it felt related to my intestines and I even felt nausea at times. No doctors were any help and I even had needless surgery. A chiropractor just heard my story and figured it out in 3 minutes - nerves from the sacroiliac wrap around to the front! No disease at all, just overstretched tendons in my lower back that scarred over and pressed on nerves. Several weeks of treatment got rid of 90% of the pain, but the upper part has returned after a strenuous summer.
    You could have all sorts of causes. You say deep at the top of the hip, which might point to an origin at the hip joint, but it could also be the typical groin muscle type pain, one of the ones that angle down from the front of the pelvic bone. You have your work cut out for you if dealing with doctors. Learn some anatomy. Try moist heat, keep track of when it hurts most and in what position. Consider also ovarian cysts and fibroids and inverted or flopped uterus and such, visible on ultrasound. Have the hip X-rayed. Good luck. I hope you resolve yours faster than I did mine.
