What Type Of Doctor Treats Groin Pull Issues?

I got a groin pull in Dec and still having trouble walking. I am 62 and it has actually stopped me walking. The pain is around a 9 and I can not move my leg left or right and can not raise it enough to get a shoe on . When I first hurt it I applied ice and went to therapy and have tried everything. Compression helps slightly but does not improve the pain when it is off. What I would like to know is what type of doctor do I contact. I had an mri and it shows a tear. I just need to know what type of doctor I need to see.

Usually the injury you are talking about comes under the purview of sports injuries. Such injuries may occur during a movement which usually your body is not meant to handle. You can consult a MD in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, or may be an Orthopedic surgeon who has inclination for sports injuries. Don't go to a Therapist directly as they may further aggravate the injury without any doctor's supervision.
