sleevly 0 Posted July 7, 2013 Has anyone experienced bruising on their stomachs after work outs? I just started at the gym after many years away... I started running on the treadmill and I've been sore all over but today I noticed bruising on my flab.... (I'm pre op) I think my body is going into shock lol Anyone experience this? Should I call my surgeon or my primary?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharon Lane 4 Posted July 7, 2013 How bad is the bruising? You may have just slightly hit it or something and it bruised a little. This happened to me like 6 months ago where I had this HUGE bruise on my stomach when I woke up one morning (no idea what happened) and gave myself a slight hematoma. My Dr said the more fatty tissue you have, the more your are prone to bruising it or causing a slight hematoma even with the slightest bump or hit or whatever. Im sure you will be fine. If it gets bigger or worse then id contact your primary. 1 sleevly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark! 449 Posted July 10, 2013 I get bruises from dumbbells when I'm getting in to position for dumbbell presses, and from my belt during deadlifts, never anything from just running though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
