Having Little Annoyance Below Belly Button. Is It An Indication Of Beginning Of Hernia?

I am nervous, because I was lifting a heavy desk last weekend and I think I might have done something to my body. The last 7 days or so I have been feeling a very light annoyance by my lower belly section. It is below my belly button, over to the left, and 2 inches down. I don't feel anything coming out, but maybe it is too early to notice any lumps or bumps. Was wondering if it is a hernia starting.
