torn muscle anyone?

maryppantser · January 2015

Anyone else torn a muscle in their abdomen this pregnancy? If so, how freaking miserable does it have you? I've had one since about 4 weeks ago and there is pretty much nothing I can do durring the day or when trying to sleep that doesn't irritate the bejesus out of it.

*hoping there isn't already a post bitching about this I searched torn muscle for key words ans didnt find anything so went on faith that it's safe for me to bitch about. Lol

What kind of torn muscle? I have a hernia, which is a tear in the abdominal wall. It hurts like a MF and that's one of the reasons I'm on bed rest. It's no fun.

0.0 I don't know I told my midwife about the pain I was having its at the top of my belly a little left of center just under my bra line. All she said was that it's a torn muscle and that it'll be a hernia after the baby is born? But yes it truly does hurt like hell!! Haha

I have an umbilical hernia. Even if I'm successful with the VBAC, I still get a surgical repair for that after delivery.
Hurts like a MFer.

I'm so sorry yall are dealing with this! I am not sure if I pulled a muscle in my back or if maybe a rib is out of place... But omg it hurts so bad! Hope everyone can find relief

Well I'm supposed to have my c section on the 29th unless I go into labor before then in which case if I'm dilating well then we're going to try for a vbac. So atleast I only have 16 days or less of this crap! But I have no idea if it's going to heal after pregnancy either.... lol or if they're going to do anything to help me with it!

I hope you all are getting better info about it from your docs than I have!

Although not an official torn muscle, when I flipped from my right to left side sleeping my side felt like it ripped apart. The pain went away after a bit so I feel for you if its constant

I'm suffering from my 2nd torn muscle this pregnancy. A pregnancy support band has helped tremendously!! I got it on amazon.

Yikes - all of this sounds terrible! I'm glad the end of the pregnancy is near for all you ladies. I've had some really intense sensitively lately around my belly button (like on the inside - I know that sounds super strange) that's been annoying the ever living crap out of me, but it sounds like child's play compared to what you all are going through!

I've had something like this that's a few inches under my bellybutton that's like a really sharp pain if my baby gets in direct contact with that certain spot it feels like someone is stabbing me from the inside and I'm pretty sure what mine was (haven't felt it for a couple of.months) was scar tissue being stretched from my c section or my D&c from my miscarriage and my midwife was pretty agreeable with my theory. Not sure if you've had either of those procedures but I hope that helps explain things some if you have!

This is a good idea I'm gonna try it! Do you sleep with it on as well??

mitchnmack · January 2015

I don't. But if you're desperate I guess you could! Mine would flare up the most when I was working or up doing things around the house. It did hurt when I moved in bed but once I got comfortable it stopped so I never wore it to bed. I was miserable for 4-6 weeks and after starting using it I felt better within a week or 2.

This is the one I got..

mitchnmack · January 2015

I have this on my right side. Happened after flipping from one side to the other one night and has been extremely painful since. Will be talking with my MF about this week for sure now!
