I've got a groin injury ( athletic pubalgia the doc calls it!) that's been dogging me for around 4-5 months, despite doing everything the sports injury specialist has told me to do and put me through; - I only do gym, play golf, Table Tennis and tennis in the summer now but my mobility and ability movement still hasn't recovered and now I'm picking up other niggles, so saw the consultant today - as only a surgeon ever does he's recommending surgery to sort it. Said I can't be active after for around 6-12 weeks and then tried to scare me (which it did ) and said after all this of doing rehab and it keeps reoccurring (so now have an abductor tear as well) that if I didn't have it done, I either give up sports or the other injuries will just get worse.
Not that I'm the same, but some days I think I'm 100% and others I just know it doesn't feel the same and next I know, more pain, less mobility and the cycle starts again.
Believe me, I feel sorry for N'dombele, but I bet he also will end up in surgery, it's such an infuriating, frustrating injury.
