Question: Someone has pain only on one side of of his abd after doing mult sit-ups. He states it only hurts when he is doing sit ups not during rest. No other symptoms. I thought rest, fluids and stretching may help since the pain started yesterday. What are signs and symptoms to seek care from MD?
