This isn't as embarrasing as the title suggests (I hope). I'm also hoping it might be cycling related.
For the past few days I've had a pain in my groin; the bit where the inside of my leg joins the body. (Stop laughing at the back).
Today it was quite painful and accompanied by a really wierd sensation that, as I walked, I was convinced that the painful leg was longer than the other.
I started the ride home and after 500m or so was in agony; pedalling with the good leg and really worried that if I stopped, I wouldn't even be able to walk back to the office. A couple of pedal revolutions later there was a palpable 'clunk' (body not bike related) and everything was back to normal. Pain gone.

Check bike fit (very carefully), check cadence and gearing, stretch plenty, take a few hot baths, and it will probably get better reasonably quickly. That was my experience, anyway. In my case it was caused by excessive leg extension on the 'bent.

Back to mild, continuous pain again now.

"I am not a doctor " ( was a nurse though in a previous life ) but I had similar pains many years ago,pre bike days.Same place, and periodic in nature,turned out to be torsion of testes twisting and untwisting which eventually left me in agony and required surgery.A chat with GP might be beneficial ,nearly lost it ( ball that is ).

Partially dislocated hip joint. Was it damaged in your crash?

Unlikely to be the case here. I've set the saddle lower than usual in order to take the weight off my arms(I am such a wreck). But it's not awkwardly low enough to cause problems through knees around ears BMX style pedalling.

If that really is the problem, then pants that are just tight enough to keep them clear of a pounding might help. I wear comfortable/loose pants for not-cycling, and slightly-tighter for cycling.

Go see a doctor. Yes I know you are male, and it seems to be against the religion of most men to go to the doctor until half dead, but you have described serious pain. Other posters have speculated on possible causes that are fairly serious. Ignoring this could be very foolish. -- Life... is like a grapefruit.

I am heartily sick of doctors right now but you're probably right.
Incidentally, if the medical profession want to persuade us chaps to go to the surgery more often, they should make the place a bit more bloke-friendly. Sitting in your average waiting room underneath posters about breast feeding and childbirth and surrounded by magazines about knitting and cooking or celebrities makes this bloke feel that he really shouldn't be there.

So take your old cycling magazines and similar to donate to the surgery's collection. -- Joe * If I cannot be free I'll be cheap

I'm not surprised that you are sick of doctors, but there isn't really an alternative.
Dunno if it will be any consolation, but some women feel uncomfy in doctor's waiting rooms too. To an avowed non-parent like me all the stuff about children feels somewhat oppressive - a sort of why aren't you breeding inquisition. Children have to wait in the same place; some of it is the sort of material that normally would be restricted to older kids, like when did you last examine your testicles? -- To err is human - and to blame it on a computer is even more so.
