Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Can Cause Pain In The Middle Abdomen After Moving Heavy Items?
I have pain in the middle of my abdomen. It started after lifted several heavy items when moving 5 weeks back. I was careful not to do any lifting for the next 4 wks then last week i picked up a recliner to vacuum and it brought me to my knees. Now the pain is not terrible but feels like heart burn and get worse some times.
After reading your problem, I would like to know if you have any other problem besides heartburn, like, pain increasing after taking food or vomiting like, heartburn may possibly due to the acidity in the stomach which can be relieved by taking an antacid and avoiding spicy foods.
The pain which is felt after lifting heavy things is due to the stretch on your abdominal muscles. Please avoid lifting heavy weights suddenly, a gradual increase in the weight you lift will not cause the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr MD AAMIR SOHAIL, General Surgeon
