10 Pulled Groin Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Tight Muscles
Tight muscles or muscle stiffness can cause difficulty with movement, especially after prolonged periods of rest such as after waking up. Some patients may also experience muscle pain and cramping. It should be noted that tight muscles are different from spasticity or rigidity as they do not improve with movement. Muscle tightness usually resolves on its own. Relief occurs with regular stretching and exercise.
In a pulled groin, muscle stiffness can easily occur even in mild cases. This may be resolved by seeing a physical therapist who can help reduce pain and improve both muscle strength and movement to accelerate the healing process.
