I was going to also suggest a physio

No sorry – perhaps the physio can give you more specific information given that it is a muscle problem.

I wouldn’t put anything on the area unless your dr says to. If you have already taken him to your GP, I would take him to another as you cannot muck around wasting time as could be serious and you want peace of mind as well.

It could be wrong answer but maybe his clothes are to tight especially workout one.

It’s good you’ve sought professional help – did the GP offer any suggestions? What about panadol – mild pain relief?

Since you seem to have already sought medical advice in regards to diagnosis I would turn to them for advice for treatment as well.
I can imagine it’s a sensitive spot and he’s not keen on professional massage.
Voltaren emulsie can relieve muscle ache & pain
and in general some measures you can take to relieve muscle discomfort from injuries and overuse include:
* resting the area of the body where you’re experiencing aches and pains.
* taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen (Advil)
* applying ice to the affected area to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

A sports specialist might be able to give you some advice on what he can do. I’m sure there’s a lot of professional sportsmen who have had this issue at sometime in their career.

In really depends on what is causing the pain. If it is a muscular pain then ibuprofen may help.

Take him to your GP and let them sort it out.

Try a warm bath with Radox each afternoon. Just let him soak in it to relax the muscles. Not too hot though just luke warm water.
