Stubborn groin strain

Anyone ever have a groin strain? Got mine almost 4 weeks ago and very little improvement even with physical therapy last 2-3 weeks. Therapist using passive stretches plus dry needling, a-stim, and cupping. Will this ever get better? Can't hike or play golf, can barely get up into my truck at times.

It will get better but as you've found out takes a long time.

Also, how old are you? I've found in my mid 40s that things take about twice as long to get past as they used to. Sprained my AC joint in my shoulder about 1.5 years ago, and thought it was going to be fine. After a month I went to see an Ortho, and about another month after that I could lift my arm over my head without the tightness and pain. Another month or so to get full mobility back without any pain.

Not specifically groin but I strained/partially tore my hip flexor in high school. It took months to truly get back to close to normal, but even to this day still has some issues. Groin isn't quite as constantly used as your hip flexor is, but it is pretty close. It is just going to take time as there isn't a great way to "not" use it, so it is constantly getting stressed while still injured.

Will be 70 in Feb. Have been very active, ran 6-7 days/wk until diagnosis of hip arthritis in Feb, so relegated to walking until this came up while working out and now just getting fat. At least I can work on upper body until something else breaks down

I had this in college - wouldn’t go away for weeks - and the physical therapist massaged or manipulated or whatever to the point where I thought he was trying to torture me but it felt better the next day.

I’m age 50 and my groin is KILLING me, right now!
I’m not sure how I even tweaked it. It seems if I do too much I hurt and if I do too little, I hurt, too. Getting older sucks.

I tweaked my groin playing football in college. I swear one of the best things for this to me was lay on your back and put your feet flat on a wall with your legs at 90 degress. Place a small medicine ball in between your knees and hold that light squeeze ISO for a 2-3 mins. Did a few rounds of this a day on top of other light PT and the blood flow and activation really helped
