Suggest Treatment For Painful Muscle Pull In Groin

My daughter who is 9 years old seems to have pulled her left groin. She plays soccer competitively and it seems to be a sports related strain. This happened yesterday and I feel it was due in part that she didn t warm up and stretch before her game as she normally does (we arrived just as the game started). She does practise and play 3 to 4 times a week and is very active. Today she is walking limp and there is apparent discomfort and pain. She was complaining about it yesterday evening 2 hours after the game, today she seems better but the area is very tender. Apart from rest what other recommendations do you suggest if any, and how long should she be off the field in order to properly heal and not make the strain worse. She has a practise Today and she will not be participating.

I think you are doing good job by getting her recuperate from her muscle stretch and mild analgesics and some ice packs may help to alleviate the problem soon.
