Suggest Treatment For Pulled Muscle Feeling In Stomach

I have had a pulled muscle feeling in my stomach for a couple months now. I thought it was a hernia and went to the doctor they could not find a hernia. They said to see how it feels and check in a month. I have since realized that my back has been out and really bothering me. I started stretching my back out and it made my stomach feel better but the last couple days my stomach has been bothering me. Ive had a lot of gas and something just doesnt feel right. Can this be a back issue or is it something I shouldnt wait and call the doctor back?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

It could be muscle or ligament pull and may take 5 to 7 days to resolve.

Please avoid putting strain on the leg and abdomen, and avoid uncomfortable positions.

You can also take antispasmodics like dicyclomine with antacids available over the counter for symptomatic relief.

Here,there might be other possibilities like some digestive disorders (irritable bowel syndrome) but as you have some gastric symptoms like bloating or gas trouble.

Although, if this pulling or weird sensations lasts for longer or recurs then you should see some local doctor for a physical examination and relevant investigations to find the cause for the same.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,
