The doc at the ER said I had abdominal contusions along with a pulled muscle in my back. This happened 10 days ago. I am stilling having pain, and I'm very very bloated or swollen in my stomach. I thought it was caused by constipation, but now I'm now too sure, since I've taken care of that.
Does anyone know about swelling of the abdomen and how long it takes to go down? It's very uncomfortable and causing more problems with my back. I feel very SORE and uncomfortable all the time. More so when I have to sit upright for a long time. I can't find much info on the net about contusions in this area. btw, I don't have any external bruising, so I have to take the doc's word that this is just ab contusions.
