psoas tendinitis or hernia?
I am a 50 year old female and had a total hip replacement just over a year ago. I have been having groin pain again. At times it is worse than others and it does bother me to sit for a long time and when I cough.There is no visible bulge. I am active working out on average 5 days a week and sometimes it gets worse with exercise. Just last week I went back to the surgeon for my year follow-up appointment and his PA suggested I follow up with my PC to rule out a hernia. I know they are difficult to diagnose in women. I have also recently found out that psoas tendinitis is becoming more common in hip replacement patients. Is there an easy way to determine one over the other?

if the pain is worse with coughing, sitting, then that is more consistent with a hernia than any other diagnosis.
Please consider seeing a hernia specialist to help diagnose this for you.
