Groin strain.

Since my crash in a TT 12 days ago when I landed on my left hip I have been
unable to ride at all. Pedalling is OK - it's when I have to pull out of the
pedals and put my foot down that there is an intense sharp pain in my groin.
Has anyone had such an injury and how long did it take to heal? Maybe torn
adductor muscles?
Cheers.

Considered seeing a quack?

More than likely to say stay at home and rest in my experience ;-) Besides
which I've no idea where my doctor is now, the surgery was destroyed in the
recent flood! I just wondered how long I'll be off the bike if anyone else
had had the same injury.

Get thee to a sports' physio and get checked out, Mr M.

I fell onto my left hip and elbow while at work, quite a few years ago
now. From, er, about 5 metres.

I had pain which you describe [1], so much so that they feared broken
pubic bones and took x-rays. Nothing to see, but it did take a few
weeks for the pain to subside. I reckon soft tissue injuries are much
worse than broken bones.


Cheers Mike,
I went out for a test ride last night and all was well until I had to stop
at some lights and the pain came back and I had to limp home. Sounds like it
could be 6 weeks or so.

Go and get it checked out professionally. It is most likely nothing that a
bit of rest (and physio) won't cure but there's an outside chance it could
be a cracked bone in your hip joint, as a neighbour's son suffered in his
fall, in which case you need proper medical treatment.

Definitely get it checked out - what I thought was a groin strain
turned out to be a touch of arthritis in the hip joint

That's what was thinking. A cyclist I knew fell on his hip at low speed
(slippery ford) and punched the head of his femur through the socket in
his pelvis. A few years later I slipped on diesel on a slow corner and
broke the head clean off my femur. Simon's injury obviously isn't as
severe as that, or he'd have noticed by now, but it's certainly possible
that he has a fracture, and it may not be stable.
