I’ve been battling a pulled ab muscle for awhile now, unfortunately it’s in a bad spot–right where it meets the pelvic bone which means it gets tweaked ALL the time. Finally started to heal when I really laid off (for about 6 weeks), just starting back up again and did some easy 200s but I can still feel it if I drive the leg (like in skipping drills). Anyone heard of this before or done anything to make it heal faster? Done the ibuprofen route.

I’m no expert but it doesn’t sound like a ab injury. Unfortunately the normal treatments are all you can probably do.

Seems more like a hip flexor type injury

Where exactly is the location? From what you’ve mentioned, it almost sounds like a hernia to me….do you have a family history?

Sorry so long in responding, thanks for your messages. No family history and it’s definitely not a hip flexor. Had a doctor check for hernia as well, not that. Been talking with others and continuing the rest/ibuprofen treatment–someone suggested osteitis pubis (never heard of it before) but found a link on it that I’m attaching below–symptoms seem pretty similar (it is getting better with time).
