What Causes Pain And Swelling In Abdomen?
My abdomen is painful and swollen after dong sit ups. During mid exercise my body shut down and wouldn't let me move. What damage could I have down? I believe it is not a hernia, but there is still the possibility. FYI Ive had no improvement for 3 days.

Hi,
It can either be a muscle tear leading to hematoma and muscle spasm or it can be a hernia which has got entrapped omentum in it that has gone for strangulation (loss of blood supply).
You need to show to a surgeon for a physical examination and an ultrasound of your abdomen to help reach a diagnosis. Further management will depend upon the above.
