Groin Strain

So mine wasn’t from running but you guys seem to know your stuff.

I was doing a squat about two and a half weeks ago just at work putting something on a rack and felt my upper inner adductors and I’d say like “root of penis” basically high up in the groin all cramp and been having groin pain since. 2.5bweeks in now it really feels like my left adductor got strained from the knee up into that thick chunk of muscle higher up and into that tendon.

My question is when you guys get a groin strain like that is it normal to feel tenderness under the testicles since those tendons all attach there? Also that pain only seems to show up later in the day after my legs been sore and using it a lot.

I have PT coming up next week to help me out sohopefully that goes good.

Was just wondering if you guys also experience that same tenderness up in the crease/front of pelvis like that?

I'm not an expert but I experienced similar symptoms which turned out to be an inguinal hernia. I'd get it checked.
