Ok, about 6 months back I pulled my groin. I completely rested my legs for about 3 months. I slowly started warm ups and stretching to keep from re-injuring it. I stayed away from any hard stretching or high kicks until the other night. After a thourogh warm up and stretch I attempted some slightly higher kicks (about my shoulder level and im 5'11). It seems as though I have pulled my groin again, though there was no force or speed on the kick, I was working on form and trying to ease into kicking high again.
I am wondering if I didn't partially tear the muscle initially and havent let it heal... Any opinions and similar experiences? I am trying to decide on the seriousness of this (doctor visit worthy). I hate doctors, so I avoid them at all costs. I don't want to go and have them tell me that it is simply a minor pull (again) and that there is little they can do and charge me $150.
