I had chronic right groin pain aggravated by jogging with workouts on an indoor track and golf. I saw my Ortho and X-rays were good. When it persisted I was checked by a general surgeon and bilateral inguinal hernias were found on physical. Endoscopic surgery recovery was smooth, but pain recurred when I resumed activity. It worsened steadily after two weeks of golf and walking in Florida.
I was golfing and went down on a drive when that adductor tenon tore. After two weeks of restricted activity the pain was gone. Now the minimal residual
reminders after jogging and golf are barely felt.
The diagnosis was adductor tendonitis from undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis remedied by the rupture.
Ultrasound or MRI could have made the diagnosis.
I’m still fairly active so better to have hernias fixed before I’m 80. Occult groin pain can take time to
diagnose. After your treatments there could be inflammation and scarring obvious.
