badly pulled groin, what do?
 

I'll even put up with snarky comments to get good advice. Can't squeeze my knees together at all. Intense pain when i try. Motrin and 30 minutes of ice every 3 hours. Any thing else I should be doing? I can walk slowly and climb stairs. Any sideways leg movement, fuhgedabowtit.

So I guess mountain biking with a 19 year old model is out?

No advice beyond rest and ice. How did you do it?

Yeah, my wife says iwouldnt survive that.

Double spinning back kick in Tae Kwon Do last night. It was sore from 3 weeks ago, felt a little pop and it was all over.

Rub some dirt on it...

If you felt an actual pop, hit the Dr. Pops usually indicate tears in something.

Now you know why I do Tai Chi :D

Going to Dr tomorrow morning. Hernia also slight possibility from my reading. Just wanna be sure. Clearly something at least torn, but how bad, I dunno... thanks

Now you know why I carry a gun.

Now you know why I don't favor living in Illinois.

That's 2 of us!!!!

Only you guys could turn injured cajones into spoons...

sounds painful.

you did it while practicing, "sweep the legs"? heal quick buddy. and for goodness sakes, dont massage it in public.

hey, any pics of the norton commado? dibs! if your crouch is permanently damage and you cant straddle a cool vintage bike..

Vash, don't be silly. I've been holding an ice pack down there all day. People keep looking at me funny but I keep yelling out "I'm NOT touching it." randomly so they know...

THe Norton is a recent aquisition. Was my late step-dads. Hadn't run in 30 years. I got it running a few weeks ago... Going to fix all mechanicals then do a mid-level restore...

damn. that is my favorite bike of all time. i cant even explain it.

That Norton is bad to the bone, brother. I'd have a hard time not making that into the ultimate, ultimate cafe racer as many did in the day.

A stunt guy was doing similar and went to ER, they did an MRI and he'd torn his femoral artery. They said he'd probably would have bled out overnight if they had not done the MRI

I've had 2 inguinal hernias, neither one sudden. The pop sounds like a tendon. Hernias generally don't hurt much and don't effect being able to close your legs. At least not in my cases.

Jesus Christ Hugh! You're gonna turn me into a hypochondriac.


The norton is in really good shape. Much of the brightwork just needs a little elbow-grease. Cleaned the fuel system and after I figured out how to "Tickle the Carbs" (their words) it started on the 4th kick. (No sissy electric start on this bike). Unreal. It's got 7700 miles on it... I'm probably going to put a straight bar and a cafe monoposto seat on it, and call it a day.

damn. that bike deserves it's own thread. shame it must share space with your groin. :D

i love it. i look occasionally in CL for one. most have been cafe'd out. really low at the triple clamps.

I'm not displeased that conversation has wandered away from my "groinal region" :)


I'll have a thread once the real work on the bike begins... :)

I am mostly bald, so I wear ball caps, I have one that says "Safety" and once in a while I wear one that says "Coroner" people ask me about it and I say, "I wear many hats, you are the one that gets to pick which one I wear".

I know buddy, I appreciate the warning.

fixed it for you sir-

Was that the stunt rehearsal for the stunt in the Pirates Movie#3 that you posted, where they ended up having to zip tie the guys ankles together?

Si

If you remember the movie (Pirates 2) Johnny Depp was on a spit to be rotisseried by the cannibals, he (stuntman) gets away tied to the spit, and jumps a small canyon and loosens himself up and unravels. The centrifugal forces spread his legs apart violently and ripped his femoral artery.

No help, just a story.

I was visiting a friend up in the Oakland hills many moons ago and there was some drinking going on. On a dare, we decided to do a flip on the living room floor, which was not at ground level. My friend flips onto a beanbag chair thing and then it's my turn. I say watch this and flip and land on the floor. I landed in a sitting position, legs straight out. It hurt, but being drunk, didn't notice at the time.

I crashed on the couch that night and apparently got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I woke up on the floor, near the bathroom, seems like I was headed back to the couch. By this time, I wasn't so drunk, but hungover and forgot what had happened. I got up and tried to walk and couldn't. I sprained/tore/whatever, both groin muscles. I used the railing at the top of the stairs to help my way back, but had a nice distance to get to the couch without anything to hold on to. That was extremely painful! I think the next day, I decided to brave it and climbed on the back of my friends dirt bike and we went to go ride on a dirt track. he goes around, hands the bike to me, I painfully climb on and tried to get it in gear and go. I went about 200' and fell over. That was it. I could not get back up. :D

Turns out that even though the living room was not at ground level, it still had a layer of concrete, which prevented the floor from giving, much like it does in a boxing or wrestling ring.

I feel for ya! I really do. :D
