Progression of a Groin PullThis can be classified into 3 grades of groin pull or strain severity: ![]() Minor - Grade 1 Groin Pulls involve stretching of your groin muscles which results in slightly pulled muscles or very small tears in your muscles. You will generally feel mild cramping which will be a little tender or uncomfortable, but will involve no swelling or no loss of strength. Moderate - Grade 2 Groin Pulls are more painful and involve a partial tearing of the groin fibers in your muscle, tendon, or at the tendon attachment to your bone. You will generally experience some pain, along with swelling, decreased range of motion and strength, as well as difficulty walking or running. Your groin muscles will often be painful when you touch them. Severe - Grade 3 Groin Pulls involve a complete tear (rupture) of your groin muscle fibers generally at your muscle/tendon and bone attachment; it is very painful and less frequent than the others. You will tend to experience a burning or stabbing pain, a lot of swelling and minimal strength, which may prevent you from walking without assistance or make it impossible for you to run. Bruising in the injured area is common a few days after the accident. This type of pull or strain may require a surgical repair. Should you seek medical attention? ![]() This is up to your discretion; however any continued discomfort in your groin or pelvis area should be investigated. If you continue to experience the groin pull symptoms and have tried the suggested conservative treatments, it is recommended that you seek professional medical attention. If you experience any of the symptoms noted below it is recommended that you seek immediate attention:
| Dear MendMeShop, After working for 22 years at a tree nursery, I developed rotator cuff problem in both shoulders because of the repetitious movement it takes to grade the seedlings on a table. Then I fell a couple of years ago, tearing the left rotator cuff. I have tried things like ice, special exercises, and ibuprofen. The ice and ibuprofen numbed the pain for awhile, then I would get a flare-up every time I would try to do a little yard work, such as raking. Afterwards, I would be unable to raise my arm for several days at a time, each time getting worse. I worried all the time about surgery, but knew it was not an option because of lack of insurance. One day, I had an idea to just type in rotator cuff into the Google search engine to see if I could find some new help. I just happened to come across the article about home ultrasound, and was happy to read that it could actually heal rotator cuff problems. This was back in March of this year. I wanted it then, but could not afford the price at the time. Just by coincidence, I checked the sight again a short time ago, and LO and Behold! It was on sale! Yes, I was going to get me one of those kits because I could afford it now! I was so thankful to get this deal. A prayer answered! Well, I have been using it faithfully and have noticed a remarkable improvement in my shoulders. I can even sleep on my side now, without getting up in alot of pain. I also have arthritis in my hands, especially in the right trigger finger. This is being a little more stubborn, but is not as chronic as before. I have learned to use the ultrasound more on the soft part of my hand, rather than over the bone area, because absorption is better.
