Lower Abdominal Pain on left side?
it could be appendicitis or a kidney issue, or it could just be gas, bt you need to talk to your doctor to be sure, and i would do it pretty fast, because if it is your appendix, it could rupture and and put you in sepsis, which could likely lead to death if not treated quickly.
My elbow hurts a lot after tumbling?
so a few weeks ago, my friend, who at the time was already in tumbling, was helping me get my handstands, roundoffs and cartwheels perfect so i could be in the same tumbling level as her. i do cartwheels/roundoffs with my right arm in front, which is the elbow that hurts. ever since the day that she was perfecting my stunting, my elbow has hurt very bad after doing one or two cartwheels/roundoffs/handstands. it's only my right elbow though. and on my left arm, when i flip my arm (so that i can see the underside of my wrist) it doesn't hurt at all. but on my right if i try to do that, the main vein and my elbow hurt :-( the other thing, is that my wrist hurts also. both of them hurt, but my right one hurts the most :-( stretching them doesn't help at all :-( any suggestions on how to ease my elbow and wrist pain?
Lower back pain from cheerleading?
As someone who is currently recovering from low back surgery, please tell your mom to let you see a doctor. An orthopedic or neurosurgeon is best. They would probably order x-rays and an MRI to specify exactly where and what the injury actually is. Since the external treatment has made no difference, they may decide to give you a spinal epidural which would give relief within a day or so. Do not neglect having this taken care of or it will become almost crippling in the future. I put mine off for many years, and my surgery was much worse than if I had done it sooner. I might also recommend that you try to figure out a way to do your stunts without re-injuring yourself. How you position yourself will be of great importance to avoid further damage in the future.
Help with doing a gymnastics bridge?
Yes, yoga helps alot. Try doing poses such as downward dog, cobra and upward dog. They stretch your stomach out lots. Do some stomach conditioning too, like sit ups, crunches, v-snaps, and the 'board' as my cheer coach calls it. The next day your stomach will hurt quite bad but thats one VERY important thing! Just because you have a pulled muscle doesn't mean baby your muscles and have a poor-you attitude towards yourself! Keep pulling your muscles everyday until you don't even notice them being pulled anymore!!! Another thing, personally I think a back kickover is easier than a back limber and then bringing your self over. IF you don't know a back kickover is like a back walkover. You do a back limber/back bend and then bring your feet together and kick one right over. Thats just me! Also stomach isolations (like belly dancing) really stretches and conditions your stomach. Good luck!
My stomach now is sore from doing backflips?
Being a little/medium sore is fine, it means you worked hard and you stretching muscle!! It's always good to be flexible. Just don't do backflips again until you feel like the soreness in your stomach has gone away, or at least for the most part. If the pain stays for a long time or hurts really badly right now, see a doctor or your dance teacher (if you take dance... this IS in the dancing section...). Hope this helped!!
Why do I experience pain in the sides of my waist and now in the pit of my stomach whenever I do exercise or something that I need to move my body a lot (like dancing, running, etc.)?
Since you associate the pain in your Waist & Stomach with exercise, I'm led to believe that it might simply be Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). If it is pain you experience DURING your workout then it's probably not DOMS (DOMS may be experienced 24-48 hours AFTER after the workout session)DOMS is caused mainly due to micro tears in the muscles(micro tears aren't bad). Whenever our body indulges in strenuous exercise, it causes micro tears in the muscle cells. This usually happens if we perform some activity that our muscles aren't accustomed to, or if the exercises are much more strenuous than our usual workout.The body doesn't experience DOMS if the same exercises are done on a somewhat regular basis. This is because it heals those micro tears through the circulatory system (blood), which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the muscles that need repair. When these micro tears are healed, the muscles grow stronger and allow us to handle additionally strenuous workouts. If you workout regularly, the micro tears typically won’t develop unless you change your workout in some substantial way. As a general rule, as long as the change to the exercise is under 10% of what you normally do, you won’t experience DOMS. Ways to minimize DOMS:1. Stretching before and after an exercise has long been considered a good way to minimize muscle soreness after a workout. 2. Methods that increase blood flow to the muscles, are known to reduce DOMS: massage, hot baths, low-intensity workouts, sitting in a sauna etc.3. Recent research has also shown that extended warm up sessions, before exercising in some way your body isn't used to, will also help reduce DOMS.4. Alternatively, gradually increasing workout intensity, under 10% a week, should allow you to progress in your workouts while experiencing minimal or no muscle soreness.The other reason may be cramps:Some of the most common causes of cramping among runners are known to be fluids or food ingested while running, the timing of eating or drinking before running, dehydration, low sodium levels, or simply the pace.So some simple ways to avoid cramping are:1. Proper hydration - Drink the right amount of water2. Avoid sugar - Ingesting a high concentration of sugar can trigger stomach cramping2. Avoid running/dancing on a full stomach.3. Pre-stretching with side twists
Why does my lower back hurt when I lie on my stomach?
Answer: sustained lumbar extension is painful.Lying on the abdomen or “stomach” will usually put the lumbar spine into extension (the opposite of curling your spine forward which is flexion). Many swimmers don’t realize that kicking with a kickboard also causes sustained lumbar extension.Brief extension is very helpful for back health. In fact, in my experience back exercises that do not include extension are likely to fail to help. BUT sustained extension is not good for the back.Extend your back when standing or sitting. How? Stick out your chest and throw the shoulders back: that is extension. Or stick out your abdomen. Hold a few seconds and release.By the way: one of the ways that a big belly hurts the low back is that we put the back into extension to compensate for the asymmetric weight in the front. To illustrate this point, hold a heavy object in front of you and watch as you lean backward to compensate.
My lower back hurts and I tumble?? Please help :(?
You have pinched a muscle in your back to cause the pains you are feeling there. That's easy enough to have happen in tumbling where you get the vertebrae to open way up so when they close they can pinch a muscle. To get rid of the pain you have to free up the muscles in your back and here's how to do that: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
