Ask Dr. Ioss - Groin Injury

Dear Dr. Ioss,
I pulled a groin muscle last night playing softball? It really hurts. What do I do now?

Coach Ando

Dear Coach,

1) RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) for about 1-5 days while the swelling goes down.
2) followed by slow return to activity, making sure to stretch and not to return to full activity to fast.

Dr. Ioss
