Question 1

have had a dull pain in lower right back and abdomen for 3-4 days. not bad, just barely noticeable and no other symptoms. could it be a muscle strain on the side?

Accepted Answer

: Could be. A muscle strain should improve in a few days. If it does not improve or gets worse, it would be prudent to see a doctor to exclude organ pathology as the cause.
One possibility is kidney stones. Drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless.
Wish you good health!

Question 4

what would a torn muscle in the abdomen feel like?  what about a torn ligament?

Accepted Answer

Sore: Tears in the abdominal muscle layers can be seen in trauma, sports injury, and due to post surgical hernias from weight gain or strain.  There will be a distinct area of soreness.  
Your surgeon   can evaluate your complaints with a manual exam and imaging. 
Skeletal ligaments are attached to bone, and not a concern in the stomach wall.

No: Sacroiliac joint or ligament pain does not cause abdomen pain.  It only cause pain in the low back/buttock region and may radiate down your legs.  Your abdomen pain is something else.
