Da Vinci post op complications

I am 9 weeks post op. Recovery going well; workouts etc. Spontaneously while sitting with no activity, I develop a severe pain in right groin area this past Thursday. Pain severe enough that the vicidin genereric doesn't mask. Over the weekend my pain center has drifted to the left/upper leg groin area. Pain mostly in actual movements generally mild when sitting or prone. Have to use a cane for support to walk. Been advised that this may be a complication, take some Aleve. Any comments as a Da Vinci complication or should I be looking elswhere for a root cause. (Feels like severe muscle strain groin, pubic mound and kegel area) Thanks.

I thought this was just a muscle strain.  I have had it from the day of surgery but it has gotten worse since I started full workouts.  This has been 7 months.  It feels like a muscle strain in the right groin area.  It seems like a long time, but it definately feels muscular.
