Muscle strain in groin/upper quad muscle, hasn't healed in a few months. Suggestions?

I strained a muscle in my groin/upper quad (not sure which. it hurts to lift my leg forward) a few months ago. At first I didn't take it seriously and I kept doing exercises that caused pain and I made it worse. I stopped doing exercises that hurt a couple months ago, but it still is not healing. I'm doing some stretches for it almost daily. Should I be icing it at this point? Will that help or is icing only useful right after the initial strain of the muscle? Any other tips for speeding up the healing process? Thanks.

    Check with your doc for tests to show what exactly the injury is. Could be a tear or ?

    once diagnosis hopefully PT can help you recover. Good to ice, rest and lidocaine patch also helps thru the day! Sometimes torn ligaments ...muscles takes a long time to heal.
