Now this may be the most ridiculous question I've ever asked, but can women get groin injuries???:embarrassed:
I assume that anyone can get a groin injury but I have never ever heard a woman say they have/had groin strain.
Anyway I think I most certainly have one!
The past 2wk I've been using the treadmill at the gym to try make it easier on my shin splint or what has now been officially given the technical name of tibial fasciitis and I've been using orthotics the podiatrist gave me. Since starting running again i have been getting a pains down below which I put down to menstral pain even though I don't normally suffer, but today after 5mins it was pretty bad and I stupidly kept running hoping it would pass. When it came to getting off the treadmill I could barely walk and I struggled to drive my car home from the pain, it feels as though someone has ripped my 'lady bits' out (sorry for the vulgar images this may conjure up!!!
If anyone has any suggestions on how to treat this it would be much appreciated.
.......I don't think ice is an option!!
