Anybody ever rehab a groin injury /possible sports hernia?

[pstall]

It seems its really easy to aggravate and now I'm contemplating retiring from hoops.

I just don't want it to lead to a hernia and get surgery.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Nope, hip and knee but never a groin

I've never had a sports hernia but I have had an inguinal hernia that required surgery. Is there pain every time you play or does it come and go? If there is constant pain, I would try relaxing for 7-10 days, take some aspirin and then see if the pain is still there when play again. You could also research some stretches to relax that particular area.

Not constant pain. But i can see when i use that range of motion or sadly, if i don't adjust a car seat and just the way you use your foot for gas/braking and that muscle right at the hip groin area. I'm surw my hammys and hip flexor sucks since i have done more cardio and ignored my core like an idiot.

Yeah I'm resting and rotating ice and heat for the next two weeks. Not even gonna go walking for 30-45 mins.

I pull my groin once or twice a week. It takes longer to recover these days

Groin is tough. there's not a whole lot you can do to aide it other than taking it easy for a while. when you do get it healthy enough to play - make sure you stretch it out first and afterwards. strengthen the area with squats and reverse lunges too.

Btw, ice is for reducing inflammation and heat is just to soothe or relax. Aspirin will manage the pain or discomfort but won't help heal. Some people think aspirin actually heals headaches and body aches, but it really just helps you ride it out.

I rehab my groin at least 5 times a week.

I've had two sports hernias.

It's a constant dull ache and you can see it protruding from your crotchial region.

They fixed both in one surgery. Went in through my navel and patched them up.

Was out of commission for a few days. Got some good drugs out of it.
