Sports Hernia Symptoms

4. Pain That Is Worse With Activity
If you have a sports hernia, you may find that the pain gets better with rest. However, once you return to sports or other activities, the pain typically increases to its previous level or close to it. Pain may increase with sports activities or training exercises, especially those involving your abdominal or pubic muscles, such as sit-ups.
Over time, you may find that the pain also worsens with non-athletic activities that use the same muscles. Though the pain may be intermittent at first, it may exacerbate to the point that it is constantly present. If the pain progresses to this point, it may be more difficult to discern whether it is getting worse with activity.
