Abdominal Pain after Ab Exercise

firechic Posts: 17 Joined: 2002/08/27	2005/02/24, 08:24 PM I was in the gym today doing my normal lower body workout, but when I went to do my second ab exercise (straigh leg raises) I got this horrible tearing pain in the lower left of my abdomen. Could this be just a pulled or torn muscle? Or could it be something else? Oh yeah it is now 3 hours after the fact and the only pain I experience is when I stretch my abdomen or turn just right.

Are there any 'soft' or 'empty' feeling spots along the attachment point for your abs? If pain persist for a day or more, you may want to get it checked out, and avoid those leg raises for now. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --
