I would guess you have scar tissue from your stubbornness
and stretching, resting, rolling and icing will not make
this go away. I would find a good sports Massage Therapist
for some deep muscle work. Insurance does not usually cover
this and it might take a few sessions. This lapse in
judgment may cost you a few dollars and some time.

Don't be impatient. Rest heals most ills. Groin strains take
more time to heal than just about any other muscle.

Also, check your running shoes to make sure they offer
enough support. Shoes with too much (or too little)
cushioning can cause greater stress as your legs work
overtime to remain stable. When you're trying to heal, this
is not a good thing.

I would suggest a doctor before going to massage therapist.

Good luck.

Posting about an injury just to draw the attention of
internet trolls. You must be very lonely.

I've been down the same road you're on a few times. Sadly
rest is best and about all you can do. Check out a few
sports medicine sites for exercises you can do to strengthen
the supporting muscles while you heal. I like the University
of Bufalo sports medicine patient education site.

These muscles you've strained are involved in just about
every aspect of living. From getting out of bed in the
morning to walking down a flight of stairs.

Good luck and heal fast, Andy
