    Im suffering with groin pain durning football and for a couple of days afterwards. I have all the symptoms of gilmores groin, stiffness, sore when coughing and getting in and out of the car and so on. My question is can a physio correct the problem or does it need surgery in every case? I just dont want to end up going to a physio for weeks and weeks and getting nowhere. If surgery was the only way id rather go and get scan to confirm weather or not gilmores groin is the problem.

    Cheers
    Stephen.

    Do you remember "One Foot In The Grave"? Victor Meldrew used to have a medical dictionary and every day when he got a cough or a sore leg he would go to the dictionary and check the symptoms and by the time he'd walked away he'd have himself convinced he had a disease.

    You may have any number of strains or weaknesses. Rather than diagnosing yourself like this or asking random people on the internet you should go and see a good sport's physio.

    Supposing it is GG for a sec, I know people who have gone the rehab route without surgery, but also lots for whom surgery was the only option, so again, see the professional.
