STRAINED OR PULLED AB MUSCLE

[vikinyc]

Has anyone ever strained or pulled an ab muscle?
I have some achiness on one side - the same side I had hernia repair surgery on 6 yrs. ago. This side has been normally tighter and weaker since.

I read somewhere that icing the area is good - any suggestions?

well, i split mine doing core work in my 3rd pregnancy! oops!

i suppose ice would be good - brings swelling down.
good luck!

Just a week or so ago. And it was right where my galbladder is. I wasted a whole day in my local emergency room for nothing. I rarely do direct ab work and hadn't done anything to bring that on so I have no clue how it happened. Finally went away, though.
