Found out where the pain is coming from at last.

Hi guys,

The docs finally worked out what has been giving me so much pain. I have a tear in the "Rectus Abdominis" muscle. (No this is not a tear in my butt LOL) the Rectus Abdominis is the big muscles than run up and down the abdominal wall and I have a tear on my left side and he probably a small Heamatoma with it. Not sure what has caused this maybe lifting something too heavy and/or over doing things a bit. Pain is still pretty darn awful and can only rest to ease it. it will be one of those things that just take time. So I still feel pretty beaten up.

Awww Karin - so sorry to hear you're still in pain, but its good to know what the cause is.  Sorry its just rest that can fix it - did they say how long it could take?

Thanks Jody,  Doc didn't really know how long it could take as it depends on how much I keep irritating it.  It's very difficult as you use you stomach muscles for everything.  Even getting in and out of the chair sometimes is a struggle.  it reminds me of when I had my tummy tuck years ago and had all the corest muscle stitching and that was a bit of an ouch time.

Glad you found out where and what was causing the pain. You will heal, just be patient.

 oh, karen, sounds awful!  so sorry, but i'm glad they have figured it out finally.  hope you heal quickly, hon.

Karin.....glad they figured out what was wrong but hope you feel better soon.  We use sooo many of our stomach muscles for everything so I know this is a pain in the rear.  Hang on and eventually you will be back to your ole self.

Blessings to you!!!
