Can I Walk with a Pulled Muscle in My Stomach?
Patient Query
Hello Doctor,
I think I may have pulled a muscle in my stomach. It hurts when I move, but I’m wondering if it’s okay for me to walk around or if I should rest completely? What would you recommend?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
If you’ve pulled a stomach muscle, gentle walking is usually fine and can help prevent stiffness. However, avoid any movements or activities that cause pain or strain. Rest when needed and consider using a warm compress to ease discomfort. If pain worsens or you notice other symptoms, please get a medical check-up.
Thanks
