Bungee Belly BeltI'm sort of lopsided because my spinal cord injury (SCI) affects my left side more than my right. My left-side abdominal muscles are extremely weak compared to my right side abdominals. This makes my left side bulge out because there is no muscle tone on my left side. It is actually painful because my intestines do not have their normal support and they get stretched out of shape too. |

To help keep my innards tucked nicely inside me where they should be, I sometimes wear an eight inch elastic belt with a velcro closure at the ends. I call the elastic band my Bungee Belly Belt. It keeps the left side of my abdomen from stretching painfully. |

The belt just wraps around my middle and sticks to itself because of the Velcro. |

The belt helps relieve the abdominal pain that results from the intestines pushing against abdominal muscles that have been weakened due to my SCI. |
