10 Pulled Groin Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Tenderness
Tenderness refers to discomfort and pain that is felt when the affected region is touched. It should not be confused with pain that occurs without touch. Pain occurs as a patient’s perception while tenderness occurs when another person touches the affected area.
In a pulled groin, besides pain, there is also tenderness on the inside of the thigh and groin. Pain and tenderness can be managed using pain medication such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) and NSAIDs. Rest is also recommended. Other possible methods that can help with pain and tenderness include application of ice packs or heat therapy.
