X-rays of patients with osteitis pubis typically show an irregular pubis symphysis with bone edges and evidence of chronic inflammation. Osteitis pubis is an uncommon cause of pain in the groin and pelvis. The pubic symphysis is a thin joint that under normal circumstances has very minimum motion.

Originally it was pain in my right testicle, now it's wider spread across my abdomen and down my inner thigh. Been useful reading the above comments. Thank you all Stig

Took about 6 months, but mine recovered fully (well almost, still get twinges) and I've run a few races since being told I'd never be able to train again (15 marathons, 6 ultra marathons including 100 milers and a total of 14000 miles run? There is hope!) G

As I've increase mileage and intensity this year training for VMLM, it's become a bit more chronic and 48 hours between runs no longer feels like enough. I'm planning to go back to the doc after VMLM to see about further treatment.

The important thing was to rest enough to allow it to fully recover.

iaincr Oct 2019 9:19am, 30 Oct 2019 576 posts	0 iaincr are you sure it is oesitis pubis? and giving it a good enough rest to recover? I was also investigated for a hernia, sure its not that? 5 years seems a long time to have it! I was given a load of exercises to strengthen the muscles round about it, have you had any? I feel your pain, it really is a nasty injury!
