Hi, I have an oblong bruise on lower left abdomen that just seemed to appear. Also when lying on my left side, I tend to have a pain like a pulled muscle in that area leading to groin area. This has been at the same time period as a pain in lower left back area. Wondered if it is possible that it could be a hernia or just a pulled muscle?
Hi there.IF it's a hernia, there would an increase in swelling on bending forward or coughing and which goes back on lying down. Does this happen. To you? Since you mentioned a bruise or pain.... try applying a pain liniment over the area fora week. If the pain persists, if it's incapacitating, consult a surgeon who will examine your abdomen physically.
