[QUOTE="Buddydowrongright2, post: 601928, member: 12406"] I've strained my groin twice, and both times it was because it only hurt a little and I still thought I could train. Wrong. Do not train until there is absolutely NO pain in your inner thigh and you can do a butterfly stretch with zero discomfort. Your groin muscles are extremely delicate and once injured, it is extremely easy to make the initial injury worse or reinjure yourself by trying to exert the muscle again too soon. No squats, no running, definitely no closed guard. I wouldn't spar at all. Although you can do some light drills if you feel comfortable and there is no pain. Just for the record, both times I strained/tore my groin it took at least three months to heal 100%. The first time I reinjured and it took more than six. It sucks. I'd say it's one of the most frustrating injuries there is. If the tear/strain isn't too bad, maybe two weeks to a month is all you will need. But you have to take it seriously or you're just adding time on until you can get back on the horse. [/QUOTE]
