Okay so let me preface with this is a very vague description and it would benefit you to see your doctor for an examination. What it sounds like to me is a condition called Diverticulitis. Which is a condition where there is an abnormality in the muscle lining causing abnormal pockets (diverticula). Now as some people get older they can begin to experience infection or inflammation of these abnormal pouches. This is something that is generally going to be diagnosed after a physician can visually confirm.
