Groin injury, only in the morning!

Does it hurt to cough/sneeze? And do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning?
At the moment I wouldn't recommend playing until you know what it is as you may make things worse.

Hi Karen, thanks for your reply....no, it doesn't hurt when i cough or sneeze, and I'm able to get out of bed OK. It's just for 3-4hrs every morning, it feels tender/uncomfortable/sore/dull pain, hard to desrcibe to be honest but it's very limiting. I'm at a loss with it

The route I was thinking down was of a Spotsman's Hernia (otherwise called Gilmore's Groin). It is a common injury in footballers and is normally causes a dull nagging pain deep in the groin.

If no other treatment for a groin strain is working, you could try some rehab for this condition to see if it helps. This involves core stability work. Best using a gym ball to tone up the deep lower abdominals. There are numerous exercises so might be best looking on the internet for some or buying a book.
