Did I sprain my muscle or is there something else going on?

[Blahblahblah890]

I had a rough post pregnancy experience. My baby was stuck in my rib cage and they had to pull the muscles more than normal on the right side to get him out. I had puppps, then I tried working out after being cleared to do so and I literally did a back bend as if there was no muscle in my abdomen. I went in to see my doctor and I was told I had an internal infection. They never said anything about ab separation but when I look down at my stomach, there is a gap where my belly protrudes more on the left and sinks in on the right. Anyways, that was a few years ago. I've been trying again to lose weight. I've changed my eating and lost 20 pounds and I try to be as active as possible but then I kicked it up a notch while working out. I was doing sit ups with 5lb weights. I started to feel my abdominal muscle on the right side tense and then it was spasming. I tried pushing through the pain and kept going. The following morning I started having vaginal bleeding and my muscle on that side hurt from the front of my body into my back. I thought maybe this was just my cycle. Well the following weekend, after the bleeding had already stopped, I was moving furniture and didnt think anything of it. Next day, bleeding returned and the muscle was pretty sore again. Since the original incident, I've had a dull pain where the injury happened and sometimes it tenses up or feels like a Charlie horse. I cant find anything that links muscles and vaginal bleeding online. I dont think its coincidental though. Did I tear my muscle or is there more to what's going on? And when can I start working out again?

You're not clear as to whether you're having your period or not.  Is it time for it?  Because if it isn't your period, you need to go to the doctor and get some diagnostics done.  If you hadn't mentioned the bleeding, I'd say you just did what so many of us have done and regretted, which is to hurt ourselves and then go ahead and keep doing what hurt us.  We all do it at some point and there's seldom any real immediate consequences for weekend warriors, but it can turn into chronic problems later in life.  When you hurt, stop.  Evaluate.  Maybe what you're doing is being done incorrectly.  Maybe what you're doing isn't a proper exercise for you even if it once was.  Who knows?  But combined with bleeding if it's isn't your period, I'd want to know about that and quickly just in case you injured yourself more than just strained yourself.
