Pulled a stomach muscle?

Okay, im using this question for my sister, last night she went to bed with bit of a discomfort in her stomach, our dad woke her up for work this morning and she was getting dresed she noticed that her stomach had bruises all over it, i think she counted about six or seven and one on her back, we thought of everything that might have done it, but nothing made sense, she didnt fall off her bed its very low to the ground it wouldnt leave that, soccer.. no that wasnt it, knocked into something... no would have remembered that. so we went to the doctors and he was like thats so weird. it gives her alot of pain, just a constant soreness then out of nowhere she gets a rather sharp pain that goes from about her collarbone to her mid thigh, we also got blood work done just incase, could she have puled a muscle?... would it have caused so much bruising?
Answer:
That doesn't sound like a pulled muscle to be honest. It could be other varying conditions, just wait until the blood test results come back. Hope she will be ok.
She could of beaten herself in her sleep..
Not kidding, I've done it.
But if she pulled a muscle, I'm pretty sure she could feel it.
That is very weird. She could have some sort of bleeding disorder in which her blood isn't clotting as it should such as hemophilia. As I understand it any sort of injury even mild barely noticed things can cause internal/external bleeding that doesn't cease on it's own or at least takes longer to stop. This might explain her bruising (which is basically pooled blood in an area) and might explain why it's continued instead of healing like a normal bruise. If this is the case her doctor may prescibe drugs that can help her blood clot more normally.
Has she had a bad cough? I've heard of men with very strong chest and ab muscles actually breaking their own ribs and/or collapsing a lung with a forcible cough.---That would also explain the bruising and discomfort. Far fetched though.
If this continues, ask the doc to order x-rays of the abdomen/pelvis flat and upright as well as a chest film. He may even order a CT scan of the chest and abdomen with and without contrast.
by pull the stomach " for the 1st time or after a long time
no exercise"
then can very sharp pain But no bruises.
or if she had be wearing any skirt which was
very tight fitting.
Or did she went to any night club in the weekend or
some party?
