Two weeks ago, I was twisting and contorting myself while trying to adjust my newborn s carseat base into our vehicle. Two days later when I was in the seated position (on the floor) and stood up abruptly I felt a burning/pinching sensation in my lower right abdomen, probably two inches to the right and down from my belly button. It hasn t gotten any better or worse since that time, although I ve now poked and prodded myself about 100 times since then so its probably irritated. I have a doctor s appt on Friday this week, but am curious about what is likely. I ve seen everything online from a muscle strain, pull, tear, to a hernia. On that note, I have no protrusion at all that is either visible or that I can feel when standing or lying down. I m a male.
Hi. Thanks for your query. The most probable cause of such a pointed pain in the abdomen right to the belly button can be due to appendicitis and must be investigated by ultrasonography and relevant blood, urine and stool tests. This may not be related to the twisting and contorting at all, as the pain would have been immediate or within a day of this. Please get examined at ER or by a Surgeon to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment before it is late.
