Anyone have any tips for soothing a pulled groin without completely stopping exercise?
Question:
Answers:
Treatment of a groin pull is usually guided by the severity of the injury. Resting a groin pull is the key to successful treatment. As a general rule of thumb, if you have a groin pull, you can do activities that don't aggravate your injury. You should rest until you are pain free to allow the injured muscle to heal. Not resting adequately may prolong your recovery from a pulled groin. Gentle stretching is helpful, but it should not be painful. Stretching excessively can be harmful, and slow the healing process. Apply ice to the injured area in the acute phase (first 48 hours after injury), and then after activities. Before activities, gentle heating can help to loosen the muscle. If you have symptoms of a severe groin pull, you should be evaluated for proper treatment. If normal daily activities, such as walking, sitting, or sleeping, are disrupted because of your injury, then you should have the injury evaluated by a doctor. Severe groin pulls should be evaluated because in some very rare situations of complete muscle rupture, surgery may be necessary to reattach the torn ends of the muscle.
