Do Abdominal Work Outs Cause Pain In Abdomen?
I have a pain in my stomach on the left side about 3 inches left and 3 inches below my navel. About a week ago I did some ab workout, but I noticed the pain yesterday. It occurs on certain movements (like when I turn over in bed). Is this just a muscle strain?

Hello!
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Since you feel the pain only in certain movements ,most likely it is caused from muscle strain.
If the pain was a symptom of specific abdominal condition ,you would feel it all the time not only in certain movements.
If the pain doesn't seem to get better in 1 week or get worse you might need to consult a physician and get examined.
Right now it doesn't seem something serious.
Hope it helps.
Kind Regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
