Groin Injury

[shazaam]

I got kicked pretty hard by a low blow the other night. Does anyone have any advice for the pain and bruising? Should I see a doctor? I was practicing point sparring.

 

I think I am going to stick with full contact from now on.

[Tibby]

Buy a cup.

[Darce]

Ouch!

Motrin and ice. If everything still works you probably don't need to see a doctor, but if the pain lingers on have it checked out.

[shazaam]

Not everything is working properly. There is a greenish hue on the first couple of inches and blackness on my scrotum. If this continues, perhaps I should seek medical attention. My sensei says it will clear up in a few days with Advil and ice as the above has recommended.

 

What should I do?

[Darce]

Go see a doctor.

[shazaam]

I will listen to my sensei.

 

He advises that I sit in zanshin and concentrate my ki three inches below the hara. In time the pain and swelling shall pass. If only I didn't have to urinate so frequently.

 

I shall keep you up to date on my progress......

[Tibby]

And ifit doesn't heal in 3 days, go see a doc. I'm sure your Sensei is a wise man, but this is your jewels we are talking about! If Jesus appears to you right now and says don't go to the doctor, it will be fine, ignore him and go to the doc! Try some asperecreme on it, that would help. DO NOT use Hot Ice on it.

 

And above all less, if you contenue to do full contact sparring, BUY A CUP!

[shazaam]

I don't believe Mas Oyama used a cup. Should not I try to emulate the masters?

[Tibby]

Hey, they're your boys...
