Can’t break the cycle of groin strain and adductor overuse injury.

[Nightwalker]

Hi,

After taking your advice I have been seeing a private physiotherapist which has helped me get back to a level of normality. The dull pain in my right groin has all but gone and I have just started to return to running very slowly. I also finally got an appointment for the ultrasound scan I was waiting for at my local hospital to get a scan of my my groin/adductor to try and identify any underlying issues. The chap that did the scan said I had chronic inflammation of the tendon at the insertion point with the pubic bone, he said he could see the calcification. Hopefully that makes sense?

I should get a letter with his written notes at some point (or I can ring up and get them to confirm exactly what he said). Obviously I am a bit worried as I don't really know much about the problem and how likely I am to make a full recovery. I thought I was on the road to recovery but now I feel a bit unsure. I want to get back to running properly and get on with the marathon I have been planning for so long! I will speak to my physiotherapist but my next appointment is not for a week or so. What is the prognosis, am I ever going to be back to full strength and able to run high mileage like I used to?
