Do you press your stomach when you have a stomachache? Why?

Question

Does pressing or massaging or rubbing ur tummy help the pain when you have a stomachache?

Answer 1

I do it to shift the pain around. But I don't think it helps. You can try Tiger Balm. Rub it on your stomach when you feel it aching and you'll feel a lot better afterwards.

Answer 2

I think, maybe you are massaging the muscles around the stomach that feel irritated. I like a heating pad. Try it.

Answer 3

I do press my stomach and hold my breath, but the pain comes right back after like 2 SECONDS. lol so yeah.

It doesn't really work but i still do it. =]

Answer 4

No, but it helps me get a hard-on. ;)

Answer 5

I do it to push the chyme out of the fundus away from the ulcer.  It feels better then.
