Any stretches/exercises I could try before going to the doctors for a possible hernia?

I'm a young guy (21) and in better than average shape. I train for marathons, eat healthy, do mild weight lifting, and generally stay in shape. Today I was playing soccer with a bunch of friends and I moved quickly one direction and felt like I pulled a groin muscle but when I tried to stretch it I couldn't seem to fix the issue. Now its a good 7 hrs later and my lower right abdomen hurts when I press on it and when I lay on my back. It hurts down into my scrotum a bit too but mostly just above it on my abdomen. I checked everything out and I don't have any bumps or anything like it's a hernia but the location and type of pain match all the descriptions of a inguinal hernia that I have seen. I'm a busy guy and frankly think some doctors in my area are worthless and prefer to self medicate if possible. Does this sound like a hernia even though I'm in good shape? If it isn't a hernia what else might it be? What are some stretches or home remedies I could try for a few days to see if it improves? Also, if I end up having a hernia is surgery going to permanently debilitate me from being a highly active athlete for the rest of my life? I usually don't use yahoo answers for this type of stuff but my other research failed me so, I'd greatly appreciate any advice people are willing to give. Thanks!
