Groin Pull Symptoms A sharp pain may be experienced in your groin and inner thigh area if you are suffering from a groin pull or strain. You will feel tightness, tenderness and/or muscle spasms when you try to move your groin muscles by flexing, extending or rotating your hip or leg inward during active and resistive movements. Point tenderness in your adductor magnus or longus, gracilis, rectus femoris or iliopsoas muscles may be present, especially when the area is touched, which may radiate further down your inner thigh. If you have a chronic injury, you may feel more of a dull ache that lasts for long periods of time. This pain can happen in one area or multiple areas at one time. You may experience stiffness and decreased range of motion (ROM) in your hip joint as a result of a pull in your groin muscles. This will make it more difficult to bend and rotate your hip and knee. To test your stiffness and ROM, sit on the floor and put the soles of your feet together. If you have tightness, pain and/or tenderness while doing this, you are likely suffering from a damaged groin muscle. You may also feel tightness in your lower abdominal, spine, hip and thigh region. This is often more prevalent on the left than right side, however it is really dependent on your injury.  Swelling in your groin muscles is a result of your tissues becoming inflamed and normally occurs with a more serious groin pull. Warmth and redness may accompany swelling in severe cases.  Weakness of your groin muscles can also be experienced as a result of a groin pull. This along with your other symptoms may make it difficult for you to walk or run and can result in you walking with a limp. Occasionally, bruising (broken blood vessels) in your groin area or over your muscles may appear a few days after your injury. This may be in one spot or can span from your groin to your knees. A popping or snapping sensation in your hip can often be heard when your hip flexor or hip adductor muscles are tearing.
| Dear MendMeShop, My son injured his knee last summer playing baseball, ended up being a very slight tear of his patella tendon. We sat him down from all sport activities until he recovered. After the Dr. follow up, physical therapy he was still experiencing discomfort(Scar tissue build up) at the injury. We spoke to a friend that had recently purchased the Platinum Knee Therapy Kit and was very pleased with the results. Once we got ours, my son started to use it per the instructions and almost immediately noticed improvements in his knee. It has been about a month now and the scar tissue seems to be broken away. He will still use it as a preventive tool but is now experiencing “0” pain or discomfort in his knee where there was scar tissue build up. In fact my wife has started to use it for her knee and has seen & felt immediate improvement. I would and will recommend your products and services to family & friends. Thanks again for all your help. Rating: Pat Davis           | ||||
