Hello, When I’m Laying Down Or Standing Up And Flexing
Question: Hello,
When I’m laying down or standing up and flexing my abdominal muscles if I press firmly I can feel these small lumps all through out the left and right side of my abdomen and down into my groin. If I continue to press on them over time they Almost become inflamed and will hurt the next day. I’m also a little heavier and don’t know if that would have anything to do with it.

* As per the narration, it sounds more to be excess fat deposited under the abdomen
