A member asked:

Don't know if should get exploratory groin surgery or sports hernia. in a lot of pain tried everything had tons of nerve blocks & mris don't say much ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: first speak to your doctor , may try physical therapy , etc You already tried nerve block , usually with in 6 - 8 wks the torn muscles will heal by fibrosis in the injured area if it is not happening due to ' lot of pain' surgical exploration of the area and repair of torn muscles is the option.
