ADDUCTORS OR GROIN STRAIN INJURIES

  Groin strain symptoms

Symptoms of an acute groin strain typically include sudden sharp pain in the groin area, either in the belly of the muscle or higher.

The athlete may or may not be able to play on depending on how bad it is.

There may also be rapid swelling followed by bruising. Groin strains are graded 1, 2 or 3 depending on the extent of the injury.
