Drgnslyer Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Hey all,Just thought i"d tossa question out there in hopes someone undrestands enough about this to give me a good reply about four years ago I ruptured my abdominal wall, the tear starting by my right hip, and going across to my left side, leaving a 'lump' of scar tissue an inch thick*away from my body*, two inches tall, and about 3.5-4 inches wide (roughly)It's healed quite well everything considered, and only after doing a long workout does the origional scar get sore, but the soreness goes away after a day or so.anyone have any ideas of particular excerises, or anything I can do to help build up my abdominal strength so eventually i can get back into competition and not be afraid about taking a punch or kick to the stomach?thanks! Think before you act, but act before it's too late.http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3535/siggydemo58lq.jpg(Images aren't allowed, but if you want, take a peek for yourself ^ )

Any rupture of the abdominal wall is fairly serious. I would go to a sports doc and let him know everything and see what he recommends.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
Drgnslyer Posted August 3, 2005 Author Posted August 3, 2005 I was told after the crash and diagnosis that surgery would not have done much, that they couldn't 'sew' the tear back togeather, and that it had to heal on it's own...so i spent quite a bit of time in bed, and the first week on heavy meds like morphine and demorol *or however you spell it* Think before you act, but act before it's too late.http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3535/siggydemo58lq.jpg(Images aren't allowed, but if you want, take a peek for yourself ^ )
fangshi Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Try doing a pilates routine . Slow at first . The movements are typically gentle and have prooven to be effective . We are not so much individual beings as individual points of perception within one immense being.
Drgnslyer Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 you know, for msyelf pilates was something that i've looked into a bit, but never really considered.It seems to be half decent from what i've seen, so I just might have to take a closer look at it. Thanks for the idea. Think before you act, but act before it's too late.http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3535/siggydemo58lq.jpg(Images aren't allowed, but if you want, take a peek for yourself ^ )
