What causes groin pain from pull starting equipment?

[Anonymous]

Some outdoor equipment I use is a bit hard to pull the pull rope. Sometimes is snaps back and then I'll feel a dull ache in more groin on one side for the next day or two. It's very annoying. Really anytime I strain too much it can cause groin pain. What do you think causes that? It's been this way for years. Initially the doctor thought it was a hernia, but you would think after like 8 years it would have gotten worse and it really hasn't gotten worse, but still flares up a few times a year. I've had several hernia checks as a second opinion over the years and always passed. I think it's a back problem that radiates down to the groin. My back doesn't hurt though.

it's a pulled muscle or tear...

So am I just continually pulling the same muscle? Or at least in the same area? How come I can always re aggravate it so easily?

[NathanDavis]

if you have had a few injuries and hernias... back issues

it might be messing with your posture... and then you keep working with heavy equipment, so yes

it is possible that there's some constant strain on certain muscles... and then flares, when overstretched or overworked

Can it also be an irritated nerve?

[NathanDavis]

those are usually very painful... lol

but it is possible

Itis a pulled muscle.

Pulled muscle, hernia or maybe a torqued testicle

I guess its just a pulled muscle since they can't ever find a hernia. They checked for torsion too.

Nothing like a pulled muscle right where your nuts are 🙄
