I play soccer all the time and am in my early 30's, and I've experienced this type of pain several times. I've been told it's a groin pull, and the only thing to do is lay off it (that's what the doc said). I never do (don't really trust the bloody bastards! lol), and it has taken me anywhere from 3 months to 2 years to completely heal (I don't think I ever give it the full opportunity to heal, as I never quite playing). Several things I have learned that help is heat before playing and ice afterwards. The heat has helped make sure I can run, cut, accelerate, and jump during the game, and then with the ice, I don't ache to high hell quite so much afterwards. The last time I did this was about 2 years ago, and the pain finally went completely away about 6 months ago. This is an irritating injurying, as it takes a long time to heal.
Good luck!
