Q: Injured Husband
asked by: Rae02 on October 23rd, 2007

I am not sure if this is the right area to post this question... However I need some advice .. My DH is a wrestler (yeah like wwe kinda stuff) anyway he had a match on Sunday night and his opponent accidentally landed right on his stomach, like full body without supporting himself .. He refuses to go to the dr. I am not even sure what is hurt.. I can barely touch his stomach and it pains him.. I have given up trying to get him to the dr.. but don't know what I can do to help.. any info is greatly appreciated.

His rib area isn't swollen his stomach kinda is.. I hate this .. the last show he came home with a concussion and was busted up.. but of course he won't see a dr. And he is too big for me to carry Sad I am really worried.. but don't know what I can actually do for him at home.

Men are very scared of going to the doctor's or to the hospital.My birth fahter never went to the doctor's and he died this past Feb. from cancer because it was to far along for them to do anything.If he doesn't want to end up in the hospital for weeks call the EMS.Hope everything goes well Please keep us posted.

This sounds like a serious stomach injury. I'm a fan of pro-wrestling so I know what you're talking about describing the type of injury; and I agree with Girlfriend's solution: Call 911. Your husband could have internal abdominal bleeding, especially due to the tenderness of the area. I'm surprised the medical crew at the ring let him go home without x-rays and a check up after that kind of injury :/

Unfortunately with him being on the indi sceen this crew just ask them if they are ok and if they can walk they leave. In the last show a guy seriously injured his knee and he drove himself home. It is really unsafe when they don't have anyone who can look at the wrestlers.. I have seen so many injuries that should have had help .. but that is how it works I suppose. I know what I signed on for as his wife but it is still hard to see him like this.

No we argued about him going to the er and he refuses.. I don't know whether to put heat or ice on it since I don't know exactly what is injured. I can understand not wanting to go to the dr. and in his mind since he can walk and talk, eat with some pain meds then he is ok. I dunno.. I am frustrated and worried.

Hey tell him you love him but you have very worried about him and you don't want to lose him to something like this..When my hubby had a (kidney stone) before we both knew he had it he was hurting for hours before he FINALLY went to the ER and know if he feels that kind of pain ever again he says let's go to the ER.Because I told him if you don't go on your own I'm call 911 NO matter what you say.Good luck

If you call 911 they will come and I bet he'll be pretty embarrassed if he doesn't go, especially if you request when you call for the EMTs to clearly explain exactly how deadly his injury can be. Hearing it from trained professionals usually goes a long way for men; those stubborn things!

He's an adult and has a right to decide for himself, even if it's a bad decision.

I would probably get into a row about it, but I wouldn't play any tricks.

I agree Birch.. unfortunately.. So we did kinda row about it.. However, today he is better I checked his stomach and he is moving at almost 100% and can handle more pressure on his stomach... so I am taking that as a good sign. He is not fliching and moaning about it hurting today and is eating without grimmacing at the thought of food on his stomach. Thank you ladies for the advice.. always appreciated.. Smile
