I sustained a midline muscle injury swinging at the local cages. It stared after I fouled a ball off my groin area. Yes, it hurt like hell. A few days went by with no pain, then a severe pain hit my midline area. At first I thought it was a hernia but my doctor said I had no signs of such an injury. He told me I have a severe pull or tear and suggested Motrin and warm compresses 2-3 times daily. He gives the healing process 6-8 weeks. If the discomfort exists after that he's wants to do a scan. However, he says he's quite sure I have nothing to worry about. I just need time. If anyone else out there has gone through this, please share your comments.
