What can i take for groin pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
groin pain: It depends on what the cause is, but if it is due to a muscle strain or ligament injury you should rest from vigorous activity for 2 weeks and take an anti-inflammatory medication like advil (ibuprofen) or aleve. If there is a bulge in the area of pain, you would need a medical evaluation to check for a hernia.
