Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Pulling a muscle or other kind of injury leads to inflammation. Inflammation is part of a immune response. Immune responses happen in the lymph system. This is normal.

Question 2

i'm wondering why are the lymph nodes in my groin swollen?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: The lymphatic system absorbs and carries things too big to go into the arteries and veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food.  The lymph nodes "taste" the lymph to see if anything bad is there like bacteria, viruses, cancers, etc.  When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.
