Abdominal Muscle Pull??

[RobBob]

I've gotten an injury I never expected...think I pulled an ab muscle on lower left. Located almost oposite side of appendix. I had my family doc look at it, and he confirmed that it was not a hernia or likely bowel prob or kidney stone. But it hurts like a sumbitch if I stretch or lift things the wrong way...searing pain. Anybody get something like this before?

 

BTW I think it happened when I resumed weight training after a couple of months off...doing weighted crunch machine. I have been concentrating on training for a marathon, and should have left the weights the hell alone until afterward. I can run w/ some pain, and I'm gonna gut it out for the next month to complete the marathon.

See what happens when you try to work those abs? I'm at very low risk of sustaining such an injury...

I had this wacky dream last night that I was doing situps for some kind of test. Granted my abs/belly sure looked better in the dream than real life, but still I got to 38 situps and pooped out. Even though I had tons of time, this stupid machine said I was in the 11th percentile and the longer I rested, the lower the number went. Bastard machine, even if it was just a dream. Heaven forbid I actually start working out or doing situps. Inevitably I will wind up doing some situps because I can't get this stupid dream/nightmare out of my head

You may have a pull or you may just want to have the local Bone cruncher check it out. I had a similar sounding pain in the right side. It started right after a period where I slacked for a while. Then a little bad style and a little hurray to get to where I wanted to be . I had the same symptoms most of the time no problem move just so and it locked right up.
