Wow! December. 

But then again if you are like me you got a little better and continued to ski.  So the pain kind of waxed and waned, a little better a little worse.  What is curious to me is that some significant rest has not helped.

Does it feel worse when the affected leg is pushing off or pulling forward?
Where do you feel the cramp?
Any pain shoot down your leg/ electrical/ numb/ tingling type of pain?

Sounds like a serious muscle strain - probably an adductor, gracilis, or pectineus muscle (groin strain)

For what it is worth, at this point, I would think it is reasonable to MRI groin and hip of affected side.

Gentle stretch and strengthening at first followed by 15 - 20 minutes of ice.

Scattered thoughts at the end of a busy day...... your answers and some more funny questions from Gary should get us closer!
