Suggest Treatment For Ache And Pain In The Groin Area
Question: I have an ache in my right groin which I have had for three weeks. It is painful when I raise my leg in certain positions and rise from a sitting position to standing. I noticed it after one particular zumba session.
Brief Answer:
Muscular or ligamentous strain .
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description , it seems you might developed muscular or ligamentous strain .
Now after 3 weeks if pain is severe ,I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Meanwhile to get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not try to do exercise that involve painful muscles.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
