Well do what you can but don't push it so hard you do more damage. Happy to hear it wasn't an all out full rupture. I'm sure you'll be able to hit the show with your determination. Heal fast bro.

I suggest some cox3 inhibitor, like Vioxx. I prescribe this to my patients and it helps a lot; swelling goes away faster, the pain and stiffness also. So do you have any visible hematoma?

Nothing visual. There is swelling but no obvious bruising. The physical therapist worked down the muscle and said he could feel the area where the tendon attaches to the adductor muscle. He said he could feel a hole there. (The partial tear) Today I had an hour session. First he tested range of motion. Then he did some stretching, then ultra sound, massage (yes I had a short fat hairy bald man massage my crotch)

, then ice. He gave me a few stretches I can work on at home. The only script I have is for Naproxen, 500mg, twice daily.

Overall they seem very nice. I told them I want to compete so they said they'll do their best to get me healed quickly.

dam bro, good luck again on this and the show... i hope u get to do it and u heal fast..

Naproxen is not inflamation specific for soft tissues (muscle, tendon etc.), Vioxx is.

Anyway, I'm ph. ther., not fat and bald but hairy and big

, and I can imagine poor guy massageing your adductors. Not the easiest job on earth.

tendon injury=very bad
muscle-tendon junction injury=a little better

Keep iceing the injured area, and after a week add some more stretching and, if there is no pain, some light adductor exercises to keep the blood flowing.

Good luck, man.
