Hello,

Looking at your details it looks to me a soft tissue injury at your groin. You should do following to have relief:
- Do rest.
- Apply cold compresses over groin every 2 hourly.
- Take a mild analgesic like acetaminophen for 3 times a day.

If condition does not improve in next 3 days or any other problem arises earlier then I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and have a X-ray of affected part.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
