Pain: Pain in the abdomen can be from many causes. Some of the symptoms you are describing could be related to a hernia or a small defect in the abdominal musculature. I would recommend a thorough exam to make sure you don't have something serious.

Hi. I have a burning pain on the lower left side of my abdomen (just to the left and just below my navel). It started as a dull ache a few days ago. It is especially sore when I cough or sneeze or pick up my children. Should I see a doctor or not?
