Your gracilis muscle may be hurting due to overuse, strain, or injury from activities like running, jumping, or sudden movements. It could also be due to muscle imbalances, poor flexibility, or lack of proper warm-up before exercise. Rest, stretching, and gentle exercise may help alleviate the pain. If the pain persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
Your thigh is attached to lower side of trunk on one hand and to leg on other. It has strong anterior, posterior and medial muscle compartments. It can have all sort of movement with trunk on one hand and flex-ion and extension with leg on other hand. So it helps very effectively in locomotion of the human being, which does not use the forelimbs for locomotion.
