What Causes Pain And Soreness In Abs?

My abs hurt, and I can't remember doing anything that would cause this level of soreness. I have gone swimming and on a trampoline recently, but I believe it was hurting before then. I was sick with a cold this last week, could that contribute to it? If not, is there something else that could be causing the pain?

You have to be sure that the pain is not coming from the abdominal cavity itself. Especially if there was no history of trauma to account for a possible strain of the abdominal muscles. The cold is not likely related. Are your bowel habits abnormal (constipation? diarrhea?), to point to gastrointestinal problems? If not, and there are no other symptoms, then it is likely nothing to worry about and should resolve very soon.
