I expect the usual witty responses , but seriously what is the best treatment ? & expected duration of recovery ?anyone have experience with this type of injury ? 
How long is a piece of string.
Grade 1, 2 or 3 tear.
I had a Grade 2 which was 8 weeks until I could play rugby again without pain.
Ice (fun) early then the physio for ultrasound and stretching (gentle).
Grade 1 hilly ,good most of the time now but some slight movements in the wrong plane bring a prompt painful stab....
full blown hard hitting kick up the peverbial will work wonders for your groin pain...the tears will be real
another option is a gentle massage from a big fat male nurse... you'll be so nervous wondering (and hoping????) what will be next
thats the start of witty responses

RICE
About 4 to 6 weeks. Vulnerable to tearing worse now if you are still doing sports.
don't put deep heat on it unless you are willing to lie in a star jump pozzie for 12hrs.
Depends how old it really is, how much work it's had and for that matter how much work it still gets, nothing like a well oiled machine.....

Ok That's enough guys, I thank those who came through with intelligent useful advice...The rest of you , well there's always a place for humor in the world...my wife thinks any pain inflicted in the groin area is funny ???? why ?
I endured a soft tissue (groin) injury throughout the last few years of my bush footy career. Best advice from me would be 'ice-ice-baby'!
My last game was a grand final and due to the amount of injuries that our team had accrued throughout the year - our trainer called in her assistant...a very innocent and attractive 20yo masseuse. I was next in line before the game and as every happily married man would, when the newby asked what needed attention - I confidently lay on the table and pointed to my groin area.
Now although this story could have made the 'Penthouse Forums' if my imagine had over-ridden the pain, it turned out that she was very good at inflicting pain - and my groin injury was addressed with absolutely no chance of me getting a 'rise' during the event.
^ Yep, I've got a good mate who practises myopracty, she derives immense pleasure (judging by her sniggers) when she gives me a psoas treatment. Feels like you're being ripped in half.

Childbirth. That's why a kick in the nuts is funny.
