muscle
i pulled a muscle in my stomach yesterday (or so i think) by doing a back-tuck off of a diving board into a pool. after i threw the tuck it hurt really bad in the side of my stomach so i thought i pulled something. today at cheer/tumbling i couldn't throw tucks or even back-handsprings b/c it hurt so bad and then towards the end i couldn't even do round-offs. so i told the instructor and he let me leave early. is there anything i can do to make it feel better like put heat on it? it's on the left side of my stomach under my ribs... thanks so much

Well, your appendix is on the left side. If you have any of these symptoms, it would be best to see a doctor.
· Generalized abdominal cramps. Pain usually begins near the navel and moves down to the lower right. The pain becomes worse when the person moves or touches the area.
· Nausea or vomiting.
· Elevated temperature.
· Increased pulse rate.
· Loss of appetite.
· Constipation.
· Abdominal swelling.
I hope everything works out! I pulled a stomach muscle once, I know how it hurts! Feel better.

Try those Thermacare patches. Put those on and try to rest a little bit. It should be better the next day.

That happened to me once when i was doing a arabian (fronttuck thrown like a backtuck but u turn in the air). The best thing to do is to put an icey-hot on it for about 5-10 minutes and then try to stretch it out SLOWLY. That way when the muscle heals it won't loose all it's flexibility. It also lets it heal a little faster. Hope i helped!! -BandGeeksUnite

Since you are active in cheerleading and will be using those muscles a lot, I think a visit to your doctor would be a good idea. You don't want to get active real soon and spend the entire year with muscle strain. A doctor can tell you when you can resume your activities without doing more damage. :)
This site will help you understand and prevent muscle strain.

just put something cold on it for 15 min .. then heat for 15 min. then repeat for like 1 hour ..it helps a lot.
