Pulled Stomach Muscle? ?

Question

I pulled my stomach muscle wakeboarding about a week ago. A least I think that's what it is. It was very painful for about a day then it only hurt if I moved the wrong way. It's shows only the symptoms of a strain not a hernia. I thought I was mostly healed but last night I tripped and while catching myself I felt like I aggravated the injury. The pain went away after about 10 minutes but this morning I have what appears to be bruising around the genital region. Everything I have read says it just the blood drainage from the injury. Freaky never the less. Does any one got any words of wisdom?

Answer 1

I am very athletic and i have to work those muscles all the time. Somedays it hurst and it is bruised and red all around so it is a normal thing. What i usually do is put bio-freeze on it or warm pack for 15 min and then cold for 15 and do these steps about four times. It usually helps me.
