i think i got sports hernia. my groin hurts and my lower abs. it was right when i was doing track and field. i was running and then suddenly it was just there. i couldnt run after that. do i really have sports hernia or is there a chance i dont? what should i do and how can i treat without going to the doctor?

A hernia is a tear in the muscle lining that lets the meat (muscle) spill or bulge out so-to-speak. A hernia would most likely have you in excruciating pain. You probably pulled a muscle or perhaps tore a ligament. If you are still in any pain in a couple days see a doctor. If not, remember to stretch really well before you do your track and field stuff.
