How to treat pain between my thighs as hit myself by hockey ball?
Patient: I hurt myself playing ball hockey where i felt alot of pain between my thighs and along my pelvic area. I pushed it a bit but quit playing for awhile after the pain became really severe i could barely walk or sleep after i played but over usually a weeks time the pain would recede. I have seen a doctor a few times. At 1st i was given anti inflammatory pills then a cream then i had an xray that showed nothing. Im about to start a new hockey season but i feel really apprehensive because while i dont feel pain there normally when i cough or certain movements i feel pain like if i move suddenly or if im pushing weight with my legs i feel a sharp twinge but its gone right away. I dont wanna go back to the doctor but i dont want to go thru all that again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thankyou Doctor: Welcome to hcm,    Short answer. Your pain is due to injury inthe muscles with or without hematoma Detailed answer .when a hockey or an object is hit in the muscles it will cause a injury to the muscles. So I advice you to take a good rest for 2 weeks If you have a normal xrayApply ice indirectly.by covering with a towel.Take nsaids for your pain.Hot wax bath helpsIf there is no external wound apply elastic crepe bandage in the whole of your thigh. The bandage must not be very tight.it must allow the blood to pass through.Review after a week. To your doctor.Hope this explains.With regardsDr.Amarnath.
