Played football last week for the first time in 5 years at full pace with no warm up. A week later my hip adductor is still very sore/painful 🙁
Apart from ****ing which i know will come up as its a groin injury, any way to help this recover a touch quicker?

its the muscles labeled psoas major and adductor brevis/longus
Find a good remedial/sports massage therapist. They wil sort you out, as it is a muscular issue 🙂
Go and get a proper diagnosis because that one is wrong. My guess is pectineus, sports hernia or gilmour's groin.
Allegedly - Only an idiot would come onto a cycling forum asking about a football injury.
jimmy what makes you say that?
Experience and knowledge. It is very doubtful that you have damaged three separate muscles which have distinct and separate actions. Besides Psoas Major is a hip flexor .
the pain is not where a hernia is tho
Describe the pain: Type of pain, and what movements cause it, how severe is it and all that bumpf?
twist and turn causes discomfort, lay down - leg is hard to move across my body. pain starts about 50mm above belt to 50mm below. like a tightness down the front of my thigh. Pain exacerbated by passing motion in footy
Sounds awfy like sports hernia/gilmores groin to me. The bad news is that it may need a lot of work to fix it. Go seek professional help and preferably do it soon even if just to prove me wrong.
Could also equally be a simple groin strain which wouldnt be quite as bad.
Dr or physio?
Will riding aggravate it?
Physio. Riding may aggravate it.
For the love of god rest it and do what jimmy says i had an injury like this and it took me over a year to sort it out. even now i have to pay attention to it with stretching and stuff.I was told that you need surgery to fix it but thankfully i had one physio that told me to keep the faith.
Update - rode for 22 miles yesterday and NO pain what so ever so hopefully i was being a mellow dramatic drama queen
good. 🙂
hopefully all good now 🙂
