Athletic pubalgia (sports hernia) is a soft-tissue strain of the lower abdominal and groin muscles and pain usually worsens with walking twisting, coughing, or activity. Etoxib 90 (etoricoxib) is an anti-inflammatory painkiller and can help reduce pain, but 90 mg twice daily is a high dose and should generally be used only short-term under medical supervision, especially if you have BP, heart, kidney, or stomach issues long-term or high-dose use may increase risks like gastric irritation, kidney strain, and cardiovascular side effects, so avoid prolonged self-use. Primary treatment includes rest from aggravating activities, heat/ice, gradual strengthening of core and groin muscles, and supportive belts if needed. If pain persists despite conservative care, options like targeted injections or surgical repair may be considered after specialist evaluation.
