If you live an active lifestyle, you're probably intimately familiar with groin and hamstring pulls. But how do we know if it's something more serious? This terrific article from Sportcare.com tells you how to distinguish a hernia from other common injuires, often incurred during workouts or sports activity. Treatment options are discussed, including surgery, and there is a very helpful section on preventing hernias. If, after reading this piece, you determine you have a groin pull and not a hernia, there's a link for that injury, too. No web page can substitute from a real doctor's advice, but this one arms you with some good preliminary information you can digest before you visit your MD.
