I was going to suggest your regular primary care physician, but barita has a point. If you have a doctor like barita's husband did, you're not getting good care. Sounds like that doctor just didn't want to deal with the hands-on nature of the problem, if you know what I mean. I think that you likely pulled a muscle, but it's also possibly an inguinal hernia. The shooting pains are neuropathic which indicates to me that it could be more than a pulled muscle. Hernias aren't caused by stress, however. Common misconception.
