I've had a pain in my side for about a week or two....it only happens when i lay on my side or i put pressure on the side, right on my lower ribs on the right hand side.......My mom told me to take a break from the gym for a week or two, i havent done so yet. They only exercise that irritates it is on leg days when i do the leg press and its only every once in a while. Should i take my moms advice and chill out for a week? It all started when i sneezed one day, it doesnt hurt that bad its just an annoying pain...I don't think its a hernia but if it doesnt go away by next week im going to go get looked at....What is your advice?

 

Take it easy and check with a doc. A hernia is not fun.

 

I don't think its a hernia because nothings sticking out......its more towards my back then the abdomen...its like a radiating pain

 

Could be a herniated or slipped disc.

 

Could be a pinched nerve of some sort.

Take some motrin. Could also me a minor abdomen strain.

 

Tell me more about this abdomen strain......cause i sneezed...and its hurt ever since....I took Monday/ Tuesday off last week and i was good....On friday i went for leg day and i squatted i was fine......then on my 2nd set of leg press it started to hurt again.

 

Dislocated rib? I've heard of people doing that sneezing before...and I did it playing golf.

 

I say take it easy and definately see a Doc.

 

Peoples lungs can collapse from sneezing as well. And before you say you would know if it collapses. It can partially collapse, say 10-15% and its a lingering pain. With mine it was lower back and side pains......does it get worse to take a deep breath?

 

no its not my lungs......its down on my right hand side the 3rd or 4th rib from the bottom...one of the littler ones
