Groin soreness in both sides where groin meets crotch area, 1 side much worse than the other however. I have no recollection of pulling this during sport. Awoke up one day with very tight and sore groins, not all the way down my thigh however, just at the point where it meets the crotch area. I play football (Soccer) 3 times a week, the last time i played was boxing day, and the injury occurred 2 weeks before that. When i played boxing day it was still very sore, i have done absolutely no exercise since boxing day and it is showing no sign of improvement in the one side that was hurting more, the other side seems to have cooled down a bit. there is no inflammation, no bruising etc, just very sore. If i try and do a slow kicking motion, then it hurts, also if i push my knees outward and attempt to push back on it gently too add resistance, it also hurts at the point described. I have rested it, done slight stretches, and have had no sign of improvement. I am beginning to wonder if this is something more sever than a strain, although if this was the case, i surely would remember something happening to cause it. When i first woke up with the pain i hadn t even been playing sport for a few days before, so am at a loss for an explanation, i have had strains in my groin before which have eased after 1/2 weeks, however this feels a lot more raw.
