Groin pain : (

vamp79 started this discussion · 10/19/2010

Hi ladies. I can't seem to stay healthy these days. Just got over a back injury that took almost six weeks of rest, and now i have hurt myself again. This time i overstretched and hurt my groin (i think). I was doing the stretch where you are sitting on the floor with legs spread to the side and then lower urself witha straight back as far as possible. I finally touched the floor with my chest but as soon as i finished stretching i felt the pain. Now i can't even do the fireman spin.... Please tell me that this is an easy one to recover from.

yea, maybe you just pulled a muscle. That happened to me a while ago in stretch class- i let it rest for a few days, put on some ice at first then hot soaks a few days later and gentle stretching on that side until it felt better the next week. I fear I may have torn a groin muscle again from pole dancing only worse ( i have a small lump and a huge bruise that is still very tender 3 days later) so I'm doing the R.I.C.E thing again ( rest ice compression elevation) until I have to dance again tomorrow and then will try not to do that particular move.. you can also try some arica cream it works really well.( get it at the health food store in homeopathy section.)

i have not iced it at all since i hate anything cold against my skin. I have been using arnica gel and stretching gently. It has been 4 days and it does feel better but still hurts. im concerned about losing any flexibility that has taken me so long to gain. I hope you feel better soon, it sounds like you are doing all the right things.
