Is this a pulled muscle?

Question

I was doing situps Sunday on an extreme decline and had no problem until Monday. Since then I have had this pain in my lower abdomen when I sneeze, move, etc. I always thought it was near imposssible to overwork your abs. I also had a tiny bit of spotting on Monday but I just thought it was because I was like an hour late on my birth control. I've still been exercising lightly, like walking/jogging...is this why it still hurts? How do I make it feel better?

Answer 1

Naw i don't think it is. it probally your muscles are tense and tight, that's if you don't really do those exercises, or you havent done em in a while

Answer 2

pulled muscles are common. put a heating pack on it and lay it easy for a little while. they heal pretty quickly

Answer 3

In time it will get better.  Light exercise is okay.  

It's probably just a bit sore from the work you had it doing.  If you pulled it you'd probably know a little sooner than the next day.

Take an Advil and relax if it's really bothering you.

Answer 4

You can definitely pull muscles in your abs. It may not have necessarily been over working it. It could be that you moved a certain way or just made a wrong turn and pulled something. You can try a heating pad...ice would be too late...it may work or you may just have to wait it out.

Answer 5

idk

maybe just give it some rest

Answer 6

maybe u've put too much strain on your back.....and could be that ur back can't cope up with strenuous exercise.
