How long does it take to heal in general? Son pulled his 2 weeks ago and it still hurts. Trainer said it can take 6 weeks for a severe pull.

To completely heal so as to not reinjure, it takes awhile.
I have seen some players miss MONTHS due to a groin pull. Keep in mind that for most players the power comes from the lower body.
I suggest a vist to a qualified doc to make sure it's nothing more serious, then he will prescribe PT.
If the pain persists for too long I suggest you get an MRI. My son played the last 2 months of his spring season thinking he had a groin pull, but we found out it was multiple pelvic stress fractures. He was diagnosed officially in late May and is shutdown until he is re-evaluated on October 1st. It is not looking like he will be cleared to play until November. Hopefully he will be 100% in the spring!
Other posters are right. Lingering groin pull could be a sports hernia also.
