You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Coopington Subject: RE: Sports Hernia - Nonsurgical Approach Body: I had a sports heria last year (confirmeddby MRI.....it was pretty clear, too). It knocked me out of running for a few months. I probably had a month of no running at all, road an exercise bike a few times per week, and biked next to runners on my team a couple days per week. I tried changing anything that I thought contributed to it- sleeping position, the way I crossed my legs when seated, driving position. I started wearing compression shorts a lot....and not just when running. I saw a chiropractor. I started sretching. I started a lot of hip flexor, quad, and hamstring exercises. Slowly, I added in running a couple days per week, and slowly built up over a couple months to where I was running 6 days per week and about 45 miles. I honestly don't think the hernia has gone away because I still feel a tingle down there occassionally(no pain, just a sensation), but I'm back to running full strength now. It's been a full year at this point. To give you some hope, I actually PRed in the 5000 (14:58- my first sub 15) last April, about 5 months after bein diagnosed, and nearly PRed in the marathon this winter. It was a lot of patience and paying attention to every little detail that may have been addin strain to my lower abdomin and groin. A lot of my motivation was that I desperately wanted to avoid surgery. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
