Why Does It Hurt To Sit Up After Falling Badly On My Stomach?
Hi, I was skateboarding earlier today, and I fell pretty hard straight on my stomach. When I try to sit up, it feels as if I ve done a bunch of sit-ups. There s no bruising that I can see, and it doesn t hurt unless I try to flex my abdominal muscles.

Hi.
Pain on flexing the abdominal muscles after a trauma to the abdomen is suggestive of a trauma to the muscles of the abdominal musculature. This can be easily confirmed by local pressure and few investigations like ultrasonography of the abdomen proper to rule out an internal injury and of the abdominal wall to see the nature of the trauma to the musculature.
IF this is so, a bed rest and anti-inflammatory medicines can give a complete relief.
