Hi Lindsey,

I'd ice it quite a bit, and gently stretch when warmed up after a few days. I'm no doctor though. If it's that painful, take a few days off - it's early now, why risk the whole season with further injury?

I get this all the time early in the season. So I've finally learned to ease into it. I typically get it from doing too many mounts, not dismounts. The one benefit of step-throughs on high-speed straight-on barriers is that it's easier on the knee and groin on dismounts because you're not hitting the ground at a funky angle at speed. Of course, it's mostly gone out of style, but that's just my experience.

We did some early content on this exact issue in Issue 1 of our mag. That story is online now, here.

Hope it heals quickly.
