Groin Pull
A groin pull is a strain injury from putting too much stress on muscles in the thigh and groin. If these muscles are tensed too forcefully or too suddenly, they can get over-stretched or torn. This injury is common in people who play sports that require a lot of running and jumping.
You may:
- Feel pain and tenderness in the groin and inside of the thigh, especially when you bring your legs together or raise your knee
- Have a popping or snapping feeling during the injury
Treatments
Typical treatment is more likely to include anti-inflammatory medications, compression and physical therapy. A complete tear of the muscle may require surgical repair.
