What Are the Symptoms of Adductor Tendonitis?

Published in Adductor Tendonitis Symptoms 1 min read

Adductor tendonitis, also known as adductor tendinopathy, primarily causes pain and discomfort in the groin and hip region, often exacerbated by movement and activity.

The common symptoms you might experience with adductor tendonitis include:

  • Pain in the Hip Area: A general ache or sharp pain located around the hip.
  • Groin Pain: Specific pain felt on the bone within your groin, which can be quite localized.
  • Tenderness to Touch: The groin area, particularly around the affected tendons, may feel tender or sore when pressed.
  • Night Pain and Morning Stiffness: Discomfort and/or stiffness can be prominent at night or upon waking in the morning.
  • Pain with Leg Squeezing: Activities that involve squeezing your legs together, such as during exercise or certain movements, can trigger or worsen pain.
  • Radiating Pain: The pain may not be confined to the groin but can extend further down the leg.
  • Difficulty with Movement: You may find it challenging to perform activities that require strong adductor muscle engagement, such as running and sprinting.

These symptoms often indicate inflammation or degeneration of the adductor tendons, which are crucial for leg movement and stability. Recognizing these signs early can help in seeking appropriate care.
