Lower abdominal pain, soreness, cough and sneezing extremely painful. What does this show?
Patient: Hi doc, I have a terrible pain in my lower abdominal muscles. I hurt them as I continuously strained them before two months by playing. I also reckon not warming up properly. The pain is not normal soreness after a hard workout as it is ok when i cough or sneeze but when I shoot a football or try to change direction quickly from stationary position, it pains a lot. Doctor: Hi! Due to irregular exercise by an unprepared or non warmed up body, possibly there is a repeated tears of muscle fibers with accumulation of small amount of ooze at places of unsuspected trauma. You have to give sufficient rest for these to heal and have to have some anti inflammatory drug for some time so that the inflammation is gone and you are relieved. If this does not solve your problem, then you may have to go for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any other organic problem. Thanks and good luck.
