Because most people who recover from similar injuries, recover within 2-3 weeks from what I've seen. I'm still resting but I also want to continue ruling things out.
How did you pull your groin muscles and what were your symptoms?
Playing rightfield and it hurt like hell!
Healing is a very tricky thing. It depends on the nature of the injury, the extent of damage and the persons capacity to heal.
5 guys break their arms in the same spot. They go to the same doctor and he puts them all in a cast for 8 weeks. Now does it really take 8 weeks to heal? If you could take xrays weekly I bet some were healed by the 5th week, maybe another by the 6th week and by the 8th week they were all healed except one who needed 2 more weeks. The reason the doc put them in a cast for 8 weeks is generally that's a good healing time. Since no one wants to get x-rays every week than we go with the rule of thumb.
What I have learned in my years of PE is that injuries happen and there really isn't much in the way of fixing those injuries. The rare instance where damage is found well maybe some of those can be fixed but when tests show nothing wrong well what do you fix if you see nothing wrong? Guys hate urologists because they know something is wrong and want it fixed but again no doctor can fix what he can't see and docs make lots of money fixing things that are broken and they will fix you if they see something wrong.
I have also learned that guys freak out from an injury and they maintain they are broken a long time after any injury has healed.
Sadly we guys get mentally irregular over the smallest injury and know it will never heal and we're doomed. They mentally never allow themselves to mentally heal long after they are physically healed. Let me tell you my experiences tells me that 99% of all injuries will physically heal fine. If yo keep your mind from going crazy you will be fine in time.
