I think I really hurt myself?

[bluebeetle]

My left side of my stomach, right above the love handles, has been sore for the past 2 weeks. I woke up today, yawned and stretched my arms up and I swear I heard 2 little pop's, now I am in serious pain. Funny, I just sneezed, and I'm about to fall over in pain.

Is it possible to pull a muscle right out, should I go see a doctor, or will they just tell me to rest, and put ice on it? Could it be something serious, any info. would be great, thanks.

I'd go see a doctor.

What would you lose by going to a doctor?? The area you describe is full of different organs so it could be something very simple and harmless or it could be very dangerous and you should have seen a professional long time ago. Anyway causes of your pain might include the following:

• Herpes Zooster or Shingles affecting the skin over the upper left abdomen
• Viral infection of the lower left ribs - left coastochondritis or tiez syndrome
• Strained muscle over the upper left abdomen
• Injury to the spleen or splenic tumour
• Stomach ulcer or tumour
• Pancreatitis
• Hepatitis or cyst or tumour affecting the left lobe of the liver
• Infection of the left kidney - called pyelonephritis - very common
• Left kidney stone - very common too
• Left kidney tumour, cyst or disease
• Left ureteric stone or tumour -
• Adrenal gland disease on the left
• Left bowel inflammation or tumour
• Infection affecting the lower part of the left lung - lower lobe pneumonia of left lung
• Heart problems
• Trapped wind
• ... and sometimes a ruptured or leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm

I knew someone who broke a rib sneezing, so weird accidents do happen. I would go see a doctor if I were you, but putting some ice and pressure on it in the meantime wouldn't be a bad idea. Good luck!

Thank-you all for the comments, just got back from the Doctor, it looks like I ripped the muscles between my ribs on the left side. He told me I will be out for 4 weeks, dam it. It really hurts though, can not wait for this to heal.

ouch... ribs... pesky buggers take forever to heal, and no quick way around it - you just have to man it out

just be glad you don't have anything from virginjohn's shit list... i mean 'trapped wind' - jeezuz, what would THAT feel like!

Didn't they give you morphine or T3s for the pain?

I've seen people in emergency screaming but the sadists there gave them nothing.

Their next step would be to go to Main & Hastings & become heroin/crack addicts.

He offered me pain killers, but I don't take medication, unless I absolutely need it. I'm getting used to it, If I sneeze then I'm about to die.

Me too!

The left side of my stomach, right above the love handles, has been sore for the past 2 weeks.

I was in serious pain.

I wrote my will and bid my family farewell.

Then I farted and felt better.

Just curious, is there any treatment for torn muscles, or is it just a matter of waiting for them to heal? Anyway, hope you get better soon.

The Doctor told me Physiotherapy might help, but really rest is the best option. Also I always thought you alternate between hot and cold, but he told me to only use hot. Only actual heat, like from a heat pad, not those rub on's. He also metioned lying on a straight hard surface for a period of time, thats about it.

you must be either really old

or really lonely

otherwise you'd realize that nobody cared.

best wishes/get well soon

Ok buddy, no need to be like that. Someone asked me a question, so I answered, grow up kid.

 

[mistressfreyja]

Ugh, sorry to hear that. However, maybe you needed the break? Call over a yummy girl. I'm pretty sure she could take your mind off of the pain, and you wouldn't even have to budge an inch!

I'm sure you and your roomies had a good chuckle when you ripped that one.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a strong support system around them and occasionally need some advice. What may seem like common sense to some people, isn't for others. This is a lounge and if people need an opinion or help in some way, I am all for it. There may be a few Jack A*s's on here but there are also a lot of smart and helpfull individuals too.
