Dr. Kenton Fibel answered

Specializes in Sports Medicine

Ab injury: You probably strained an oblique or intercostal muscle and they can take a while to improve. sometimes a few months to fully go away. would avoid significant ab/twisting motions if anything that aggravates it and heating pads, NSAIDs as needed shoulder help it resolve.
