muscle tear oblique

Anyone ever tear there oblique ?
I was wondering how long those can take to heal and if the muscle will ever be the same again as far as looks.

Anyone have any exp with this?

Do you get diagnosed by a doctor with a tear or is this a hunch?

I've torn it before, it heals up quickly and doesn't affect how it looks. If its a hernia though, if you have surgery on it it won't look the same. A buddy of mine had a hernia surgery and he can't get a 6 pack anymore. Only 4

^^^lots of things under the obliques that cannot be fixed with ice and advil.

ya I had a tear doctor said 3 months to scab and 3 month for the muscle to go down in swelling area. He said I can work out my abs in after 6 weeks. I guess I like stretched the muscle out or something from sitting on those ab crunching machines I tend to go balls to the wall in weight on those I must have did it over time. Just seems like when I crunch my abs my waist is puffy on the side where the injury was. I got 3 weeks before I can start again on them lightly so I just been doing light workouts till I start my abs up again. I think I am going to just do floor crunches instead of machines and med balls etc. I am going for a cat scan thing tomorrow morning to check it out again. I hope everthing goes back to normal look cuz it feels like I got a not in my side. Really been kickin my motivation around.

it should look fine once fully healed. complete tears can leave "odd" shaped muscles once healed if not properly taken care of.

I did not know that. I have a hernia and have been avoiding getting it fixed because of the layoff time. I will not get it fixed unless I absolutely have to now. Would never have a chance in the masters BB if I got it fixed. I this in all cases do you know?
