Treatment for a strained groin muscle?

Figure out what is was you did that caused the strain then do the same exact thing but in a backwards reverse motion! That should pull everything right back to where it started! If at first you feel nothing, then just remember second verse, not the same as the first! RICE!Rest ice compression and elevation! To elevate the groin, that is the question!

Think..hot tub, jacuzzi, sauna, long hot bath.....anything to relax your muscles.  You'll be sore for a couple of days.   Hopefully it was worth it!\n\nTake ibuprofin for the pain and in case anything is swollen!

I would use a heating pad and massage. You can avoid this by warming up before stretching or exercising. Drink a lot of water.

Ice, regular anti-inflammatory tablets (ibuprofen), and rest.......try and work out what movement has strained them and try to avoid it. If it doesn't get better within a month, see your doctor for referral to physiotherapy.

try to exercise.  Maybe you've pulled a muscle or strained one without realizing it.  Just walking should work out any problems.

well if they are swollen it sure helps!\n\nit also cause the cremaster muscle to contract pulling your balls up towards the groin and making ejacualtion more powerful if you are on the verge of shooting the load!

you could try a heating pad. I just went to see the doctor for the same thing and now I am on a muscle relaxant. He also suggested physiotherapy. I found those new heating patches to be quite effective.

Ok my boyfriend had one too.  I know u r wondering why I am in his A-hole, but I was just curious about his body parts.  Any how, it can be a Hemmroid, but also can be an a.n.a.l fissure, thats what I had also.  if its soft swells up after going to the bathroom.  Thats what it is.  If he has hard stolls he must drink more fluids to produce softer and it can heal.  Also they give you medicine to help it.  But just keeping it clean, and soft stolls can help.  It is basically a rip in the a.n.u.s, if it goes further it can go to the muscle and cause lots of pain which I was close to.  Not good at All!!  And it doesn't really hurt.  If it hurts bad its a hemrroid

RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. I'm a gymnast and I have hurt myself PLENTY of times from not warming up or warming up wrong. First of all, rest it and try not to use it as much as possible, if at all. Secondly, ice it. Not too much though, or your skin will start to hurt, lol. I think the recomended was like 20 on ice 10 off but that always seemed a little too much for me. Third, wrap it up with an ace bandage even though it will feel weird, those things work wonders. Elevation can be held off though... Kinda hard to elevate that injury heh. When it starts to feel better, and you can move it again without pain, stretch it a couple times a day to keep it limber, but only for a week or so. Hope I helped some, and good luck healing!

Absolutly no heat.  No hurry to go to the Dr.  Not much we can do till swelling is controlled.  OTC anti-inflammatories for swelling and pain.  Sorry about the injury.

1. Put on a band that you wear just below your elbow. Maybe able to find this in a drugstore.\n\n2. antiinflammatory drugs (like Advil)\n\n3. rest\n\nGive this about three weeks to work.

Yes - do make sure you get it x-rayed - easy to confuse a bad sprain and a fracture.  Arnica does work really well too.\n\nTransverse friction massage - working across the affected ligament will help the scar tissue to heal better.  Text books say this should be done for up to 10 minutes - good luck!\n\nTo relieve other pain in the area, massage it with an ice cube for a few minutes.  This will numb it up good (but hold the ice cube with paper towels or something, otherwise your fingers will also get really numb!!)

Rest and moist heat is the recommended treatment. A towel soaked in water as hot as you can stand without burning will do. Also, a support brace or athletic tape will help when you are mobile. However, the activity that caused the problem, or any activity that puts undue strain on the injury should be avoided until the pain is relieved. Tylenol, Advil or Aspirin can be used to reduce the swelling and control the pain. Aspirin is good because it thins the blood increasing blood flow to the area. DO NOT take Aspirin if you are allergic to it. Only take what you really need for pain and swelling and do not exceed the daily dosage of whatever medication you choose. Also, IcyHot, BenGay, Mineral Ice are good to rub on it, but do not bandage tightly while using them. Medicated patches are also available.  Hope this has helped some. I had the same problem in my elbow for years. That's how I know.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

That's rough; I've had that problem a few times and it isn't any fun! You need some muscle relaxers, even mild ones are better than none, and also some pain relievers, preferebly something strong, like 800 miligram Ibuprofen. Then you need to take it easy.

Awww you poor thing\n\nhas anyone suggested physiotherapy to you?\nIts the most effective way of easing the pain but it's not the answer.\n\nAnti-inflammitorys don't work i know cos ive tried them all-- what about accupuncture-- it's been tried and tested and proved to work\n\nOther than change of lifestyle swimming is very good for the muscles\ni cant think of anything else sorry if this doesn't help

Hi there !\nI presume she had undergone "inguinal hernia " repair ! ??\nOkay..I had undergone the same in December 2004 ! Following are to be taken care of :\n1. NO weight lifting !\n2. Light diet !\n3. Ask her not to strain in toilet !\n4. While taking bath, ask her to sit !\n5. Constipation, should be avoided at any \n    cost... by taking food at the right time and \n    by the intake of fruits for some time to \n    come !\nIt is said that about 5-10% of the hernia cases come back with a recurrence after 3 years ! If we as pateints take more care, we can avoid it !\nThe doctors can advise..but we have to practise !\nWish her a speedy recovery !\nbest wishes !
