Did I hurt my groin?09/29/2008 08:10AM |
I was playing ice hockey and felt a painfull pop in my inner/upper thigh. Is this more than likely a groin and if so what is the best treatment?
From where you describe your pain, it is most likely that you pulled (strained) a groin (hip adductor) muscle (medical terminology in parentheses). Groin pulls are very common injuries in ice hockey. The best treatment for a muscle strain is ice; a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as motrin, aleve or ibuprofen; and rest. If the pain does not decrease or worsens, you should see a health care professional for an evaluation to ensure their is no other reason for your symptoms. Good Luck!
