Retire and become a referee.

Sounds like an in-growing testicle. Nasty.

Now there's an assumption!

but not after a bout of getting a good shoeing in a cage. seems strange.

It's not a very big cage. Here is my debut.

Yep, I´ve had that one. Groin strains/tears can take a long time to heal as it´s almost impossible to rest them, as you´ve discovered. However, the most recent research suggests that stength training with an injury can actually aid quicker recovery. Don´t know though; I haven't tried that myself.

You need to establish what has actually happened. Is it a muscle injury or is a tendon injured? A physio might help you there. If you think it's a muscle strain then I have some questions to establish the grade of strain;

1 What did the pain feel like when it happened? How much pain, what kind of pain?

2 How long did the pain last?

3 Was there any swelling or bruising, either immediately or in the week after?

4 is there any visible deformity now?

1 no pain at the time. it just felt lax.
2 see 1
3 no
4 no

the pain first occurred when climbing some stairs the following day. first leg raise and bingo.
i guess having flu did not speed recover.

Hmm, difficult. At the precise moment it first happened, did it feel as if something hit your leg/groin? Like a small pebble or a pin?

no it just felt too tight. since then every time i sit up in bed, get off the couch or turn when walking it feels sore and tight. i think it is ligaments rather than muscle.

I know 'sports injury' sounds better, but are you sure it's not just a stair climbing injury?

How many testicles have you got and were you kicked in the groin some time prior to the pain commencing?

ok let's go for that then

Doesn't really help I know, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
