Brief Answer:
Probably abdominal muscle strain, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to abdominal muscle strain caused by the lifting.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
-use anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day
-use creams with anti inflammatory properties for local relief
-use moist heating pads
-stretching exercises can help
The pain usually goes away in a few weeks. If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor for a physical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
