I think I overdid in the pool a couple of days ago (cycling exercise back and forth as wel as kicking with the legs exercise) and had some groin pain the day after. After a day’s rest and icing I was ok. The following day I had to be in the office from 9 to 4 pm (I am still working at home from my recliner) and when I got back home I was exhausted and groin pain started again
It does seem like you entered the doors of the Overdid It Club.. I did it a few times when I got further along in recovery and it is easy to do in the pool.
It never hurts until we stop
You are on the right track with a combination of medication, ice, rest, and
gentle stretching. This is important to prevent the condition becoming chronic and difficult to manage. I'm not a fan of NSAIDS so I would follow Nurse Josephine's oft repeated recommendation to take
Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen or Tylenol) 1,000mg 3-4 times a day is recommended provided that you aren't taking meds with acetaminophen in them.
Since you definitely got some relief after this protocol the first day, it's likely it didn't have enough time to recoup and ICE with your work day.
I found a lot of sitting aggravated mine too.
Walking is a good easy stretch in itself.
I also would massage the area when I was in the recliner and gently pull my leg up toward my chest gently. Not TO my chest...just up.
Hopefully you just need a few days to get things settled...
Hard to know where the lines are between enough and too much sometimes.
Hope by the weekend things feel much better!
