groin injury/tear rehab

[L3]

hi everyone,

last tuesday night (7 days ago) i was working at a night club as a bouncer when a group of guys assaulted my colleague. long story short, i ended up with a black eye. next morning i woke up, had a really bad pain in my left groin area, where the leg attaches to my pelvis, specifically the top left quadrant above my genitals. i thought i had gotten kicked in the nuts, i had a small bruise on my scrotum, but i was downing painkillers and like an idiot, didnt ice it.

fast forward to friday, ran out of painkillers, pain when sitting and walking, no problem walking tough. sunday morning, balls and dick looked like they belong to a smurf, all purple and blue. went to ER, doc examined me, tested abductor muscles - no trouble with resistance going. however, the top left quadrant right above my dick was VERY sore and painful to the touch (i have attached a picture of where the pain is )

i am going for an MRI tomorrow, i am wondering what kind of exercises will help with recovery. i did a bit of google research but couldnt come up with much.

any help is appreciated,29080

i was hoping for an actual pic of the injury. is that gay?

sounds brutal dude. groin injuries are absolutely awful to deal with and can be permanent if not treated properly. do not rush your treatment AT ALL. go to a sports rehab clinic near you and speak to a physio there. This is gonna take at least 2 months to deal with properly. I cannot stress enough that you do not rush this. Groin tears are so easily aggravated. I have seen many a grown men in balls practically in tears over groin issues over the years on the ice.

I meant curled up in balls. It was late when I wrote that.

Usually for that area it's an inquinal hernia. It's 90% of the time ont he left side, I had one and the only way to get it fix is surgery. Hopefully it's only a strain of some sort.

inguinal hernia - F MY LIFE

going to see about surgery at the Shouldice clinic in the GTA - anyone used them?

My chiro went there and was pleased.Raging Randy was looking into their services a few months ago.

Get it fixed ASAP, mine hurt like a bitch when seated and I couldnt work out with any type of intensity.
