Groin Soreness. Excruciating Pain...

[aaron10121]

right under 13 wks out from contest and have been hitting hamstrings/glutes much more than i ever have.
made my way to that girly stirrup machine {adductor/abductor}...never used it before but hit it up on sunday.. monday, a bit of soreness but nothing out of the ordinary, but this evening, my god, can hardly walk. if i spread my legs even a bit wide its like i feel something pulling and the most excruciating pain. hopefully its just really sore and i didnt tear anything. anyone experience this before?
ice/ben-gay/ibuprofin tonight. hopefully the pain will go away and will be alrgith for quads on friday

DO NOT USE BEN GAY!!! You'll sweat..it'll mingle with your sweat and migrate to your nut-sack, and you will be one sorry SOB.

Sounds like some intense muscle soreness, pop some ibuprofen and heat that sucker.

Yea, same thing happens to me when i hit those machines, you are just really sore, my guess is that you are fine

I hope you didn't get a hernia

dont think its a hernia, just think it is extremely sore, especially with me never having done this movement before. if i keep still im fine, if i try to get up its sooooooo tight and painful. once up, i can spread my legs very very slowly about a foot and a half more than shoulder length apart and thats where the pain starts bad...seems like this morning im able to stretch it out a tiny bit further..

Like you said that machine is for girls haha, we don't have any need for spreading our legs that way. We just don't got the flexibility I'm sure your just sore don't stress out about it.

ice and heat it, just soreness, if you pulled something it would have hurt right away.

Agreed - essentially what you've done is used muscles that you have only ever previously used under a short rom as an ancillary - and made them a full blown primary mover.

If you can get to swim that will really help.

Also look into massage. I strained both inner thighs back in April & massage helped a lot.
