Well I took a sick day today. I'm trying to get rid of this abdominal pain. I just don't understand it. When I'm sitting leaning back or laying down it seems to be ok, I can poke at it all day. But if I stand up just to touch myself in that spot hurts like heck and then I get shooting pains sometimes for no reason. I don't want anything serious to be wrong in there but I'm starting to feel worried.
The plan is to stay leaned back or laying down as much as possible till all the pain is gone when I'm standing. Then I plan to just do cardio for 1 (probably should make it 2) weeks. If cardio (couch to 5K) doesn't cause me any pain then I will try to ease back into the weight training. That's the other thing, it just seems to be workout C (chest work) that causes the pain to flair back up (or could be the jogging) so I guess I could cut that out for a full month. Will make my weight training lopsided though. I'll just try to figure out what is causing it one thing at a time.
I know I'm rambling here lol. It's just frusting to me because exercise is my anxiety reliever and without it I'm struggling. I've been kind of down feeling and moody. I didn't fall asleep last night till 2:30am either (no wonder I stayed home today). I just couldn't shut my mind off. I'm use to my Thursday workout. Anyway, I'm trying to deal without eating over it.
Food has been ok thankfully. I've been drinking hot tea (decaf) with milk by the pot full. It seems to be getting me through without all the night snacking I know I would be doing otherwise.
Well hope everyone is doing ok today. I'm just relaxing catching up on some blogging, it's nice.
Till tomorrow...

Get a 2nd opinion. I am getting kind of concerned too. It's hard to do that, cause you don't want to piss off the original doctor. You can't lie down and/or lean back forever....lol
I wonder if everybody is feeling kind of off because it's a full moon ( or was ) I had a miserable day yesterday myself! Don't what I would do if I couldn't get my morning walk in. I depend on it!
Enjoy your 3 day weekend. Make the most of it. Just do your best under not so good circumstances!

I think I agree, I might be looking for a second opinion by now. Life is miserable with constant pain like that--or pain that stops you from doing what you love.
Hugs, sending fast healing-vibes your way
I agree. See someone else soon!
Hope there's nothing serious wrong, and that you feel better soon! I would be concerned about that, too. Pain sucks.
Dawn - I'm really sorry about your pain. That must be awful. Hopefully resting and taking it easy will help heal whatever is wrong.
If the pain is still there on Monday, go see another doctor. Usually pain is an indication that something is wrong, it's our body's signal to say "help me...something is broken in here". Not to scare you, but best to get it checked out and not let it go any longer.
I agree with the rest on this..
