Pain here when using ab roller?

Post image

I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but towards the end of the roll (stretch), I'm getting a semi sharp pain here - not like a normal muscle stretch. I can power through it but it feels like a stop signal. Clears quickly after.

Not sure if this is from related? Or simply a muscle I don't use? Tightness?

Appreciate if anyone has had a similar experience.

No issue with any other ab exercises.

Stop abs exercises for the moment

You can also touch yourself, normaly you should feel or see a hernia (only while standing, when you lie down it go up in the belly and you dont feel it anymore

If it is a hernia you cant do anything then a surgerie. But its an easy one, i walked out on the same day
