Musculoskeletal : If you note pain while positioning then it might be musculoskeletal pain. That will improve with nsaid. If you have pain in your abdomen then a certain position making it better could be a hernia. Your doctor will do a thorough history and physical. They might need to do a ct scan if you are heavy set.
