Injury - Abdominal Oblique strain
I pulled my left side pretty bad on Saturday.
It's right up high under the rib cage. I have been doing some research on it, and based on everything I've read, it's a second degree side strain. Everyone who has written about it on the web is saying 4 to 8 weeks for recovery.
Total bummer. I had a pre-existing and I took a week off, and then rolled casual last saturday. I was on my back and had my friend in my guard, and was shrimping out a bit to go to mission control. He was digging his elbows into my belly and ribs as I was doing the shrimp, which is cool, and totally normal.
Anyways I felt something painful and stopped waited for a minute, holding my side. That was when I should have called it quits. But I was already off for a week and didn't want to quit, and it didn't hurt too bad so I said fuck it and kept rolling.
We started up again and within about 45 seconds I was whipping him up and threw on electric chair and as I proped up on my left elbow I felt a serious pain and basically dropped everything, writhing on the floor.
Now it is super sore to the touch along the whole underside of the rib cage. My External and Internal obliques don't hurt. It's the third layer, that you use for coughing, sneezing, puking, etc. Super painful. I was starting to wonder if it was a hernia because it still hurts to the touch, but it looks like it's "just" a strain.
Now I'm out of jitz for at least a month. Super ghey.
Just wanted to vent.
