I did a bunch of situps yesterday and now there is a spot near my
belly button that's sore.. I can point to it. Is it a muscle soreness or something else inside? Has anyone actually experienced appendicitis and can it be exercise-induced? Thanks A.C. |

If it continues or you start barfing or have your temperature go up, see a doctor at once. Appendicitis is pretty easy. Put your hand on your waist with the thumb to the back of the body. Spread your fingers with the middle finger pointing to the groin area. Push in your middle finger hard. If you feel a lot of pain, it's probably appendicitis. If not, it still may be, but not likely. Take your temperature. If it's elevated, that's a sign of it, too. BTW, if you can't tell the difference between muscle soreness and something in real injury, like a torn ligament or internal injury or whatever, you have never exercised much and should be starting out very slowly.

... I did a bunch of situps yesterday and now there is a spot near my belly button that's sore.. I can point to it. Is it a muscle soreness or something else inside? Has anyone actually experienced appendicitis and can it be exercise-induced? Highly unlikely. Appendicitis is an infection, which means it's usually accompanied by a low-grade fever. As it progress, the ache in the belly gradually localizes itself to the lower right. If you've already got a sore spot, and your discomfort isn't localizing itself further, it's pretty unlikely it's your appendix. I'm not a doctor - this is just what my doctor told me as I was trying to figure out if I had appendicitis, which was shortly before they removed my infected appendiex. ![]() You could, however, have injured something - see how it feels in a day or three and start up again easy. No situps in the meantime. -S- http://www.kbnj.com Thanks A.C. |

Finally I went to see a doc and was given a muscle relaxant, but someone told me to try a heating pad instead. So I did - Within a day or so, the pain was gone! I am not going to do anything to the abdomen until it goes away. I am just not familiar with abdominal pain and soreness. Thanks again! |
