“Pulled a muscle in my groin. What should I do for pain?”
While working out, I pulled a muscle in my groin and it still hasn't gone away. This happened two days ago. Is there anything that I can do to manage the pain? What do you suggest?

You need to first be certain that you do indeed have a groin pull. A visit to an urgent care will help if you are unsure. Other causes of pain in the groin include problems such as hernias and problems with the hip joint. A typical groin pull is helped by over the counter pain remedies such as ibuprofen (assuming there is no medical reason not to take such medications) physical therapy, and gentle range of motion stretches. Of course rest and avoiding strenuous activity will help it heal faster.
