Over stretched when I was playing football and tweaked groin. It has been OK but worried if I push it to much could pull. Should I warm up, stretch or leave it alone and it will get better. Also would I cause hernia if I keep on training or is that not related to it. Sorry to ask if it dumb question, but normally get good advice on this thread.

whilst I'd usually jump straight in to strain a gentlemans groin I think I may have to defer advice on this except to say, my usual advice would be to treat it as any other injury of this type.

Can you tell if you've pulled a muscle or ligament?

There are many types of hernia, you dont want any of them

I have tweaked it so I think it may be a muscle, I think. If it is related to a hernia, I better cool down on the training.

Place your fingers under your sack take the weight of your testes and cough.

I dont know what it does (I think they are connected to your tonsils or the dangly bit down the back of your throat) it used to be a favorite with doctors of old.

groin strengthening eh?

I avoid stretching now, I spend more time warming up. I tend to over stretch which makes it worse.

I used to warm up joints and tendons, fast small circles and shake outs too, then light mobile faster but easy stretches like leg to leg in squat mode that type ,then into serious stretches in very slow stages, then do all the hard yards sweat ad suffer type of work, then shake out and revolve all joints again to warm down, then light but long still stretches once more.
