groin strain/now tear?

[bluto]

I have been nursing what (was) a strain in my groin area for a few weeks now. I have never had an injury in my adductor area before, and let me tell ya, it has been aggravating because every little movement seems to effect it. So no leg work, etc., ......... well I slipped a couple of nights ago in the house, and in so doing, re-injured the area all over again, and much worse. Basic getting around and stooping over is a task now. I also noticed this morning that the groin/adductor area has bruising.

What can I do, safely, to rehab this injury? Thanks.

Well, the blood under the skin covers the entire adductor region now. Looks horrible. This occured originally during a heavy squat session, but was really just nagging and I was giving it time. The slip has obviously torn something. I have a knack for hurting myself in ways like this....... I am so clumsy! Also, oddly enough, there is swelling in my foot now also. Is there a link? Can the injury cause that too?
