Q: stomach ulcer and playing soccer

This might be a horribly dumb question but i have a doctors appointment this coming monday because i have signs of a stomach ulcer.

Now i have a soccer game tomorrow. Im just wondering if playing soccer can make the ulcer worse if i do have one. If i get kicked or hit with the ball in the stomach. Like making the ulcer start bleeding or something. Im totally clueless on this matter.

I tried looking on the internet but nadda, so thought id ask here. Thanks!

Hi, sorry this is too late to help answer your question!! Did you play soccer? I've had a stomach ulcer and my thought is that as long as you feel ok to play, you'd be fine. I don't think any outside physical activities (like getting hit with a ball) can cause an ulcer to get worse. How was your doctor's appt?
