Musculoskeletal: Sounds like it is musculoskeletal in nature. Probably related to stretching of tissues in the abdominal wall around the region where the muscle fibers / tendons and fascial pieces come together. This may eventually become a hernia although it may just resolve. No need to worry unless this is progressive.
