Laughing hurts

1 Reply

I don't know why but whenever I laugh it hurts my flank area and abdomen, I've only had this happen when I had a set of bruised ribs.

Does anyone else experience this? What do you do for it?

Hi there, the pain when tou are laughing could mean diafragmic endo. I have bruised like pain too in my stomack. The only thing that helps is when my chiro manipulates my abdominal organs back into their places. Though ,when everything swells up, the pain is really bad. I used to get it only during period and now it is every day. I am so pleased that my chiro has helped, as before even having a drink of water has hurt. And I had my stomack checked by endoscopy and all ok there. I still don't really understand. But think it the swelling of endo taking up the space plus the bleeding .

Hope it gives you idea what to do.

Xx
