I hurt myself

I have been working out soooo hard with my trainer and totally seeing results

But I pulled my groin (sp) yesterday and I can barely walk. Thankfully today is my off day at the gym.

Does anyone know anything to do to help heal it or atleast lessen the pain?

I would try stretching. But not until it hurts.. Strech to the point where you feel it..but you aren't in pain..

Maybe also rub Icy hot/mineral Ice..(I know it;s not in the best area) but it does help ALOT!!!!

Feel better!!!!

Definitely Ice the area and rest. Maybe when you do go back to the gym just do upper body until your groin starts feeling better.

Fee better sooN!

I would say ice and rest--maybe when you go back to the gym, focus more on arms and abs, rather than legs.

I know it is sort of better to put ice on it. But I always use a heating pad and it feels so good and my muscles loosen up a bit and then I can stretch it out.

But definitely relax tonight!!! Sorry you pulled it, that does stink. I have done that several times in dance.
