Swollen glands groin: Muscle strain does not cause swollen glands. If glands are swollen on opposite side too, consIder a disorder with "lymphadenopathY" (infections like infectious mono/or a lymphoma). If only on one side, consider infection in leg or foot - such as 'athlete's foot.' It's okay to use heat however to see if nodes improve. If not you will need to see an M.D. If any fever or chills, make it soon.
