Has anyone experience with riding a bony horse bareback? And pain in your crotch afterwards?

Why did you do that ? 
Bruising would be a possible cause of pain perhaps.

Sounds like you've bruised yourself. Maybe try a saddle next time

I also think if you're sore then the horse may well be too. Might be better to use a saddle, for both your sakes!

Bruising is possible i guess. But i think i damaged something in my pelvic floor. Doctors found nothing wrong. So is there anyone who also rode bareback on a bony horse?

I used to ride an older horse with a bony back. I never had any pain, must have been your position? Do you sit quite heavily perhaps?

I used to ride mine with a bony back when I was a kid, it was far easier sticking on him than it is the round barrel types

Deep bruising can take a considerable time to heal. Good to know you have had a check-up just in case.

Did anyone check for Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction? This is where the cartilage which holds the two front wings of the pelvis together separates. Often from a tumble in childhood. (I'm presuming you are female here - if that is wrong sorry!!) The ligaments which normally hold the pelvis together - and allow it to flex - do just fine and there is no problem until pregnancy softens those ligaments and the pelvis separates causing significant deep pelvic pain. But if you have been bumping about on a bony spine you might have strained those ligaments - or possibly caused a separation if there was not one before. A maternity Physio is the most common source of diagnosis I know of - simply because SPD very rarely causes problems outside of pregnancy. But a good sports physio might be able to help. That said - I'm not aware of any treatment other than supportive. It hurts like heck - but it heals. Until you get pregnant!

ouchy. From experience of a torn shoulder, that sounds like torn muscles/ligaments, tears burn like the devil and take ages to heal.
Shay gives good advice, ask your Dr.
