Sports Hernia – Convo with dr. Shirin Towfigh

I will include the whole report:

There is a mild asymmetric edema at the junction of the inferior rectus abdominis-adductor aponeurosis on the right with associated stress reaction in the right pubic symphysis consistent with athletic pubalgia.

The remainder of the rectus abdominis shows normal signal without evidence for tear. No other abdominal wall abnormality or evidence of inguinal region hernia. The visualized intrapelvic structures show no abnormality.

Findings indicative of athletic pubalgia on the right with mild parasymphyseal stress reaction.

Sports Hernia – Convo with dr. Shirin Towfigh

I play soccer so is there anyway to speed this up as in 5 weeks I have another showcase then a month later as I mentioned I need to go to Europe. Any strengthening exercises or injections?

As I understand usually people with sports hernias have much worse injuries. Tears in the abductors and groins etc…

For me (as I understand) my pain originates from the abdominals. I was stupid and did too much ab work. Weighted crunch machine is what destroyed me I believe. From that my groin started hurting. Nothing is torn however. The stress reaction is most likely from my abdominals pulling on my pelvis, yes?
The week and a half I have been resting has been absoluetly awful.

So is there any way to speed it up. I have a sports doctor appointment on the 3rd of June.

Thank you for answering.
