Where is one's oblique muscle and how do I know if it's strained?
Where is one's oblique muscle and how do I know if it's strained?
There are two sets of obiques which are located on the side of your abdomen. I tore an external obique muscle(s) in 2000 while lifting a heavy object. A strain is, in effect, a tear of some degree. My injury was extensive enough to cause substantial internally bleeding, leaving a large bruise..........maybe 8 inches by 5 inches. I still have a knot on my side today from the scar tissue, but the old injury does not cause me any trouble today.
If you have a strained oblique, I suspect that you know where it is.
It can also affect the groin area. The 'boys' will tell you when that happens.
