About 3 weeks ago I did some stomach crunches one night. It was the first time I had done stomach crunches in many months, and even then, it has been years since I have exercised on a consisten basis. I remembe being sore the days after, but since then, I have been getting some muscle twitching in my lower abdomen , mainly on the left side, although the whole area, left to right seems a little tight. Did I pull a muscle or strain? However, I tried protected anal sex about 2 weeks prior to those stomach crunches. Could the abdomen pain be related to that? It was my first time.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. I think you probably pulled a muscle during the crunches. Its unlikely that the protected anal intercourse caused any of these symptoms. When you start with an exercise, please make sure you maintain a proper posture. Do not do more than 6-8 repetitions in one go. At this point, the pain can be relieved by using diclofenac gel and hot fomentation (in the form of hot water bottle or electric heating pad). This should make the pain much better. Hope this helpsRegards
