Ok, about 6 months back I pulled my groin. I completely rested my legs for about 3 months. I slowly started warm ups and stretching to keep from re-injuring it. I stayed away from any hard stretching or high kicks until the other night. After a thourogh warm up and stretch I attempted some slightly higher kicks (about my shoulder level and im 5'11). It seems as though I have pulled my groin again, though there was no force or speed on the kick, I was working on form and trying to ease into kicking high again.

I am wondering if I didn't partially tear the muscle initially and havent let it heal... Any opinions and similar experiences? I am trying to decide on the seriousness of this (doctor visit worthy). I hate doctors, so I avoid them at all costs. I don't want to go and have them tell me that it is simply a minor pull (again) and that there is little they can do and charge me $150.

Groin pulls are a bugger to deal with and can lead to other complications. If you have torn a muscle as you feel you may have, especially after taking it easy for so long, then a doctor's visit is definitely worth it.

Here is a link I found on information regarding the different severities of groin pulls.

Firstly and foremost you have to take care of yourself and make sure you ice!

Hope this helps. Let us know how thing pan out. :)
