Ok so I saw a Dr and he confirms the pulled groin, also there is a possibility I have a sports hernia. It is a small possibility, but because holding a hollow body causes pain in kind of the ab region there's a chance I've done some damage up there. For now though we're treating it like just a pulled groin and seeing how that works. He perscribed some PT and today was the first day.
Being the first day not a whole lot happened. She tested out my range of motion, which was good, and then did some ultrasound and some massage. She said things looked to be pretty good and so we should be able to start doing exercies soon. Groin pulls are tricky because if you push too much too soon you'll pull them again. Dealing with this will require a lot of patience from me.
...And I kind of feel like I'm already failing in that department given that when I tried to take a week off I worked out like two times, albeit I stopped in both sessions when I felt pain. In addition, I'm supposed to go to the first private pilates lesson with Kristin and her sister. I feel like this is pretty important, and I'll tell the instructor about it and if something hurts I just won't do it. My main concern though is that everything will hurt and I'll just lay there, wasting money.
I also had to cancel a massage so that I can go to this pilates session, and after seeing the therapist and having her do some very shallow massage I think seeing Bobby may be just the thing I need to do. I've called the studio and am on the list for the next canceled appointment. The fact that I have such a flexible schedule should allow me to see him sometime this week, and I'm fine with that.
