Is It Advisable To Continue Lower Ab Exercises After Appenditis?
I had appendicitis a 3 years ago. After my operation up until now, when I do push ups or lower ab exercises the incision scar has a cramp like feeling and it feels like the cut is gonna burst. Should I continue to do pushups or lower ab exercise? How could it go away?

Hi,
It is not advisable to go for straneous exercise like push ups after appendix operation as it increases intra abdominal pressure might affect scar or abdominal muscles.
Go for light exercises like fast walking, swimming etc.
Ok and take care.
