I am grateful for your help doctor.The pain lasts for about 1 or 2 seconds.I feel it and then it is gone.The pain is not radiating,it just stays localized.No fever and no urinary symtoms.My diet has not changed and do not think I injured myself in some way.

Brief Answer:
Nonspecific abdominal pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.
Since you do not have any other symptoms and also the pain lasts for a second or two, it is difficult to point to any specific cause for it.
Since there are no danger signs, you can just wait and watch.
If the pain persists or if it is troublesome, you can consider taking amitryptyline for relief.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
