lovetoballetdance Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hello, i was practicing my scorpions the other day and I believe i may have pushed my body to far as I think I have pulled a abdominal muscle down my lower right side, as it hurts when I tense my abs and is slightly swollen. Does anyone have any tips to help me as I have my RAD intermediate exam in a few days. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletqs Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just check it isn't something more sinister. Like a sore appendix (no wish to worry you but is worth checking) I suggest see a GP and if no joy see a Physio. Rest and rub arnica cream on the area and take arnica capsules.

Anna C Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Always always seek medical advice before treating an injury, especially with an exam coming up. Fingers crossed that it's nothing serious. :-) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 With medical hat on I would say a hernia is a possibility but unlikely- assuming you are one of the 'young' posters. But worth seeing your GP to exclude it. If there are no other symptoms then rest abs and ice. You have the strength for the exam already and won't lose it witb a few days rest. Keep stretching elsewhere and gentle abs stretches to reduce stiffness in the injured area - maybe cat and child stretches?? Good luck..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
