I got a groin pull in Dec and still having trouble walking. I am 62 and it has actually stopped me walking. The pain is around a 9 and I can not move my leg left or right and can not raise it enough to get a shoe on . When I first hurt it I applied ice and went to therapy and have tried everything. Compression helps slightly but does not improve the pain when it is off. What I would like to know is what type of doctor do I contact. I had an mri and it shows a tear. I just need to know what type of doctor I need to see.
Usually the injury you are talking about comes under the purview of sports injuries. Such injuries may occur during a movement which usually your body is not meant to handle. You can consult an MD in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, or may be an Orthopedic surgeon who has inclination for sports injuries. Don't go to a Therapist directly as they may further aggravate the injury without any doctors' supervision.
