I've pulled a tendon in my groin - that big chunky tendon right on the inside of my thigh.
I did it nearly 2 weeks ago, and apart from the excrutiatingness (!) of the first 10hours, it doesn't seem to be feeling much better at all.
It's pretty sore just to walk around, especially when I first get up from a sitting position. And running is completely out of the question. I'm taking 3 voltorol a day, otherwise it seizes up completely.
Anyone had a similar injury, and can advise on how long it might take to get better?

Don't think I've 'ripped' all of mine though.
So hopefully it will just be a slightly awful longish time.
Haven't done that one, but had hamstring tendinitis 18 months ago. Took a good 6 months to shift I'm afraid.

Was that complete r*st for 6 months, or were you able to do sensible training, even running, after a while? And it continued to heal while you did sensible training?
Yes, probably, so:
- pain is where hamstring attaches to bum, you should be able to find a point which really hurts if you press it.
- sitting down may well be painful
- if you do leg curls with weights (i.e. lying on your stomach), you will have pain in the arc where the leg is nearly fully straightened.
Sound familiar?
