A member asked:
Rigid and tender abdomen, help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Doctor ASAP: I feel like I am trying to solve a puzzle using only 2 of a 100 pieces, however...In medical terminology, a rigid abdomen refers to involuntary contraction of the abdominal wall muscles brought on by severe inflammation within the abdominal cavity, peritonitis. Therefore, a true "rigid" abdomen warrants emergent medical evaluation.
