How To Cure Pain In Right Abdomen Due To Lifting Of Heavy Objects?
Hello, I lifted something very heavy around 100 to 150 pounds into a dumpster about 4 foot tall and immediately I felt a sharp burning pain in my abdomen. No I am having pain in the right side of my abdomen that is moderate, did I do something or just strained.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
As the history is positive for lifting- which has started the pain- it is definitely straining of the muscles as the major cause.
Lifting heavy weights is not known to give internal injury.
So take anti-inflammatory medicines - take rest- This should settle the problem.
Consult a Surgeon of the pain persists or you start getting associated symptoms like vomiting , abdominal wall swelling.
