Go see your doctor. Could be a hernia. Thats the only thing that comes to mind from me!
Good luck and don't lift anything over 20 pounds or less until you are cleared to do so by a doctor!

Hi briga121,

First, I want to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know that we are glad you found this Forum. I want to let you know that there are no Doctors on this Forum, only CP  {Chronic Pain}  Patients that help each other with our own expertise and experiences that we have developed through our own CP Issues.

I'm sorry that you are experiencing this problem.  If it were me, I would give my Primary Physician (PCP) a call and let them know what's happening and see if you should go in to be checked out further.  Have you had this before? If so, what was it and what did your Doctor say about it? Have you had any type of abdominal injuries, issues or surgeries in the past?  Have you ever had a hernia? Any type of muscle problems in that region? There are many things that it could be and that's the reason I suggest giving your Doctor a call.  Since we don't know your medical history, it's difficult to know what could be causing this.  

I hope that you will keep in touch with us and let us know what you find out!  I'm very concerned about you and what's going on with your stomach.

I'm sending you my best wishes and I'll be looking forward to your updates........Sherry  :)
