Re: Lack of abdominal muscle

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie,

Sorry you are having so much pain. Is it possible that you might have an

abdominal hernia? Or maybe it is that WE are getting OLD and it is catching up

to us hehehe!!

Seriously, any kind of pain is bad. Do you get the pain from your abdomen

everytime you sit, or is it after you eat, excerise, etc.. Are you constipated,

or maybe you have some kind of obstruction?

Now about the thigh muscles, I also have terrible pain in mine. It has been

going on for quite some time and is only getting worse too. I have no idea what

is causing it, but think it might be my Rheumatiod Arthritis causing the pain. I

also have horrible pain in my hip/pelvic area.

I am not sure how far this stuff goes or for how long it lasts, but I can almost

guarantee it isn't going to get much better. Our muscles are involved and they

are getting weaker everyday. If we do excerise to build them up we only end up

with more pain and more Mito symptoms.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help for you, but wanted to say " Hi " and to let you

know I am thinking of you. Hope you have a great week!!

Hugs,

Ann-Marie

Lack of abdominal muscle

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a problem with ab muscles not supporting or

holding back I guess you would say, stomach organs. I have a roll

from my navel up to my rib cage that continues to sag more every day.

It is very painful and I can't sit down because it feels like

pressure up into my chest. It almost seems like my intestines are

falling out of place. I haven't gained any weight recently, though I

am 50 pounds overweight. Also when I push on this roll it hurts

everywhere straight across my abdomen.

My thigh muscles are worsening everyday. I am having great

diffuculy getting up from a chair or bed and climbing steps. I'm

afraid of how far this will go.

Coming to terms with new and additional symptoms is always difficult - I

think for all of us.

Your abdominal problems sound like something that needs to be addressed by a

doctor.

For difficulty with chairs and bed, I had to address this a few years back.

I now have a hospital bed that I can raise and lower. This allows me to get

up without difficulty. I also have a power lift recliner. I am still able to

get up from a wooden chair or my desk chair most of the time, but not comfy

stuff. It is really embarrassing to visit someone, sit on their couch and

not be able to get up. I hope you can find some solutions to this problems.

One thing I did do before getting my bed, was to tie a cord on the closest

doorknob and pin it to my bed so as not to loose track of it. I would unpin

it, hang on and pull to help me arise from the side of the bed.
