With other muscles you just rest and elevate, but what in the world do I do for my abs? Honestly, it hurts so bad that after Alec comes home from preschool, I'm taking a muscle relaxant so that I can have a few pain free moments. -------------------- Lisa, SAHM to Megan and Alec

In a couple of days light and I mean light! stretching. The problem is, we use ab muscles in everything from lifting to answering phone to sneezing...just about everything we do. Just try to rest and use heat and then ice. It sorta worked for me. Good luck and hang in there
