Weeeel!! You couild try the booze BC40!!! My understanding is that hip problems give pain in the groin! Not actually in the hip!!! So it may be a back problem??? Just guessing but my OH is having groin pain and I am told by my doc(He won't go and see his!!!) that it is likely to be hip rather than hernia which is what I thought. 40 is young but I think it can strike at any age. Best to see the doc. tho' and not to indulge in guessing games!!!!!!Sorry about your pain tho'.
Mayday
