Diagnosed With Muscle Strain After Doing Squats, Deadlifts. Matter Of Concern?
Hi I'm a 23 year old male, very active at the gym I actually train for powerlifting... Anyways in the past year I have had 3 cases at the gym where I attempted to deadlift a very heavy weight (improperly) I had the most horrible pain shoot through my lower right abdomen, a sort of lump or contusion surfaced that area but subsided in a matter of a minute or so... 1 of the 3 occasions which was recently all I did were toe touch stretch prior to some very heavy squats, and outta nowhere the pain surfaced and left. For the next days after no pain just soreness. Now all I've been feeling the past weeks are bubbly like sensation from the same area no pain just like a heartbeat type feeling. I've seena doctor earlier this year for a routine check up told him the problem. He squeezed the area and my testies etc. he stated something of one teatical being weaker then the other or something... My diagnoses is a muscle strain due to the volume and intensity of my squats and deadlifts but I could be wrong I have no pain anywhere or trouble urinating just that bubble feeling n a little tightness. Is this normal or should I be really concerned ?

Hi and welcome to HCM
Limit your exercise for some time till you can get a thorough check up from a leading Surgeon who will be able to diagnose and give required treatment accordingly. Rather do more of aerobics. Obesity can cause low back pain and increased strain on abdominal muscles which can also cause abdominal pain.
You may take Paracetamol twice a day for pain relief under medical supervision till you consult your Surgeon.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
