left side of groin hurts, pulled a muscle during exercise. how to make it better?

[Corporate Thug]

i have this dull pain in the groin area after excersing. it hurts more when i walk or stretch, seems like a pulled muscle

anything i can do to make it go away?

 

[conjur]

Percocet?

A few days' rest.

 

[Geekbabe]

hernia maybe? call MD

 

[bigalt]

yeah, rest it if possible. if not, pop ibuprofens, ice it afterwards.

heat might ease it to (just not right after exercising), like in the bathtub or something.

suspend walking or stretching, add heat pack, rest

Rub Ben Gay on it!

Seriously, hot tub will help relax things...

yes, hot tub or a massage works for me. also stretching it out and relaxing.

Ibuprofen, a few days off work, and a week and a half on crutches did the trick for me when I had the same problem last year.

One warning though, dont rush it, when it starts to feel better give it a couple more days before you try doing everyday things, very easy to re-injure just doing normal walking and rising from a seated position.

if you don't have Ben Gay, Icy Hot will also work

So many off-color replies... so little time...

For any sore, torn, or pulled muscle, the best way to heal is to heat the muscle, stretch it, and then ice it down. When you aren't heating/stretching, you should keep it iced. You can heat/stretch once or more per day, but otherwise keep it iced. Inflamation and irritation of the muscle is caused by chemical reactions that occur in the injured tissue. To keep the inflamation and irritation to a minimum, ice the affected area in order to slow down the reactions.

That is the worst pickup line I've ever heard...

But hey, when in Rome......

 

[poopygood]

if you are laying down, is there any kind of "bump" in the area that is sore?

if yes,
can you push the bump back down?
if yes,
hernia. go to doctor, get operation.

if no to anything, try something else....

ugh, i wouldn't want to hold any ice so close to my balls like that. *shiver*

Rest, pain killer & water.

Get your wife / girlfriend to massage your leg. That should help to relax it and reduce the pain.
