I had a Chrons's reversal on my lower abdomen (10/2008) after a surgery on my Chron's (6/2008) which ended up bad and made me stay in the ICU for 2 months. The line extending from my billy down to about the groin was cut open and let to heal on it's own. So now it looks flat in the middle of my billy as I am having a butt rather than a billy. I started to work out 2 months ago and fir the first time ever I gained like 10 pounds. The other day I was doing abs and then went home and the right side of my abdomen started to hurt bad, I immediately thought oh boy here goes the reversal site. But within 3 days almost 90% of the pain is gone. I still will go check it but the doctor appointment will probably take for ever to schedule. Since I am gaining weight now including my billy, I feel this stretch to the middle site of it, and since the billy can't extend or push out like normal people, only the sides do making it like a butt lol. Is this normal to have this stretching pain? Is it possible I pulled my abs muscles? A hernia? No blood, fever, vomiting, or nausea.
