Not sure but best: if you get it x-rayed or CT'd if you are still concerned after a healthcare provider has examined it. Any kind of muscle or tendon strain can cause such sensation especially if you move in a certain manner or position. There is also potential hernias that can develop through the abdominal wall, or adhesions of the intestines to the abdominal wall as well. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
