Visit GP

I have been struggling with a lower abdominal strain for about 6 weeks now. I took a week off after a marathon, but not much improvement. After a run, if I sneeze, I fell like I will unzip across the groin. Ouch. I'd love to go straight to a sports physician and get it diagnosed straight away. You need a referral for that. So tomorrow I am off to visit my GP. A nice guy but he probably thinks everyone is a hypochondriac. Will he give me a referral? Will say the dreaded word to a runner? Rest. Stay tuned.
