Strained Deep Abdominal Muscle? Posted: 04-29-06 18:39pm
Hi everybody!
I've recently in the last 2 months really
kicked it up a notch at the gym with my
workouts andi love my results! In this
time period, I started doing reverse
lunges on a machine and I think I may have
pulled/strained a deep abdominal muscle on
my lower left side. Whenever I use the
machine now I feel it and I also feel it
if I do a regular forward lunge on the
step. The "feeling" is a pulling feeling
and it only bothers me if i'm doing a
lunge. I went to the doc this week to
check if it was a possible hernia, but he
found nothing and said it was probably a
slight pull/strain or even tear of a deep
ab muscle and just to stop doing lunges
for a while :( I haven't done them all
week-
if anybody has any clue as to what deep ab
muscle this could be, please reply!! It
is driving me nuts and I can't really do
anything for it but rest it and even
applying heat doesn't seem to help since
it is a deep muscle!
