Health: Today, I panicked when I felt a hard bump on the side of my stomach....

Today, I panicked when I felt a hard bump on the side of my stomach. I thought I had appendicitis. Turns out it was my ab muscles. I've been overweight so long I didn't know what they felt like. FML

Twang

By Anonymous - 29/08/2009 14:15 - United Kingdom

Today, I stretched really hard when I woke up, only to feel something twang. This was followed by a really sharp pain. Thinking I'd given myself a hernia, I got up to check myself in the mirror, and was repulsed by the bulge I saw hanging out of my gut. Then I realised it was just my own flab. FML

Today, my stomach muscles are still sore from yesterday. Not because I was doing sit-ups or working out or anything, but because I have to work that hard to take a dump. FML

Today, what started with me forcing a shit a little too hard ended up with me being rushed to the hospital with appendicitis. FML

Man up

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Santa Barbara

Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML

Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML

Full of it

By romoangel - 21/04/2020 05:00

Today, I felt a very sharp pain, like my appendix was going to burst. After going to the doctor, I was rushed to the hospital to get tests done. The doctors later told me there's nothing wrong, I was just constipated. I went to the hospital for them to basically tell me I'm full of shit. FML

Today, I felt so self-conscious about my gut, I pushed it out and pretended I was pregnant rather than sucking it in. FML

So your FML is that you lost fat and/or gained muscle?

I think the idea of the FML is that she has been way too fat for too long. Still does sound like fishing for a compliment, but I'll obligue since it made me giggle: Congratulations on being able to find your ab muscles OP !!!

I have low body percentage and anyone can see my six pack if I take my shirt off. I am stating this because there should be no lump on the side of your stomach. On the side of your stomach should be your ribs, and the lower part there shouldn't be any lumps whatsoever. Clearly this fml is fake and makes no sense, or this chick has a lump on the side of her stomach.

Believe me, if you had appendicitis you'd probably be crying. I practically couldn't move the whole way to the ER before the operation, because it is VERY painful. -.-

Lack of fever and severe pain usually indicate that you don't have appendicitis. But congrats on your newfound abs... ;-) Can't really see what the fml is here, though. I'd be celebrating if I could feel mine again.

Well boo fuckity hoo. You have ab muscles! You're a ******* idiot for posting this on this website. Losing weight and gaining muscle is not a "**** my life" situation! You're a ******* moron OP.

I thought the "FML" moniker was a bit of a misnomer, because it's not actually about one's entire life being horrible, but rather, about a single, inconvenient, painful, unfortunate, embarrassing or otherwise undesirable occurrence.
