I have a shooting pain when i run or strain myself in the area right under my lower abs and above my genitalia. maybe stretched groin? what to do?

Sports Hernia: Could be a sports hernia. This is where the abdominal muscles meet the pelvic muscles near the inguinal ligament. If this does not resolve on its own, you might want to speak with your doctor to discuss options for treatment. Either way take a break from running to see if it resolves.
