Sign in to disble this ad
So I went to move this door at work today, looked like any standard run of the mill door. So I pick it up as such, it is not, it belonged to a tank or something apparently. In the process it appears that I strained a muscle in my abdomen int he process. the question is what do i do about it. Its not a bad pain just a dull kinda pain when i sit up or cough. Like ice or compression or do i throw an ACE bandage on it. Id really like it to go away soon seeing as i do a lot of crouching then standing up then crouching again(electrican). And id like to be able to be 100% at work.

I'm just disappointed that your injury wasn't cool enough to warrant posting gruesome pics.

I've always found that vicodin helps take the edge off most pain. Just keep popping it and sooner or later you'll develop a 100% uptime 5 oclock shadow, a limp (a cane will magically appear for you, don't worry about that) and a misanthropic demeanor. At that point you'll make 9.6 million dollars a year.

You might have torn the muscle and caused a hernia. The same thing happened to me a few years ago when I had extreme sinusitis and was blowing my nose with great fury and hostility one day. I lived with the pain for about a year not really knowing what it was until I noticed a visible lump in the area. I had to have it surgically repaired, a minor procedure where they put in a bit of mesh in to help strengthen the abdominal wall. Get it checked out by a doctor, if not taken care of it could get worse over time!

Get it checked out ASAP- I injured my back about 6 months ago, and thought it was nothing. Fast forward 2 months later and it hurt too much to sleep and had pulled my pelvis out of line so that it hurt to walk. I've been doing physical therapy for about 3 1/2 months now, and I'm almost done. If there's anything I learned, it's that if you think you've injured yourself, you probably have, and to get it fixed before it gets worse. If you have the means (i.e. Insurance and/or money), go to a doctor and at least get it looked at.

I'd guess hernia, from the sound of it, but I'm no medical expert, and I've never had one.
