What does this sound like - bruise on side?

[SofaGeorge]

I posted earlier this week about pulling something while deadlifting. It is on the left side lower ab/pelvic area.

Today my girlfriend pointed out that I have a big bruise in that area... about as big as two silver dollars side by side. It seems to be healing and along with the purple streaks it has that yellow green color.

What does this sound like?

sounds like a possibel hernia, can you feel anything sticking out when you flex that area?

Nope... and the pain is starting to go away.

hopefully its not then, I would just keep a really close eye on it. If you have any real concerns, I'd get it checked out

Were you wearing a belt? Maybe it pinched you. Happens to me and my belly all the time.

I wasn't wearing a belt... and it doesn't seem like a pinch. I was kind of surprised to even see the bruise.

Well if there is no pain I wouldn't think it's anything major, seems like I always get bruises without knowing where they came from. I have one(light color)on my left bicep that is new, no clue how I got it. It's the deep severe ones that worry me, and so far I've been lucky with those.

You could of just slammed the bar into the top of your pelvis at the height of your deadlift during a warmup or something. Did u run into anything during your workout?

 

[DBCooper]

LOL sure you and your gf didn't cause it? lol.

Maybe you should get it looked at?

I'm going to... probably tomorrow. I showed it to one guy at the gym today and he said, "You tore something."
