Reply With QuoteI wouldn't simply 'wait' for a lump to appear. There are several structures that can get injured in the inguinal area. You should see a good sports physio who can assist with your identification of the injury, perhaps with the assistance of some diagnostic ultrasound.
Once diagnosed you can then work together on a rehabilitation and prevention strategy from making it worse. Waiting for it to get worse it not the obvious choice in my book!

I'm a 25 year old male who plays a lot of sport, I recently pulled up with an injury that i suspected to be a hernia but there is no visible lump. My GP said that without a lump there is nothing he could do. Should i keep playing through the pain and wait for a lump to appear?

few questions for you-why do you think it is a hernia?
do you have any pain when you cough or sneeze?
any stiffness in the area?
any particular pain on sprinting/ turning/ kicking/ climbing stairs?
any other history of injuries/ problems (eg hamstring tears etc)
interested to know what diagnosis a physio gives u if you go...probably your best port of call
