Hello,

Based on your description of your complaints. What you may be having is a pulled or strained muscle or a mild colic. This muscle pull commonly happens due to bad posture or after lifting activities. The colicky type of pain or sensation will be more severe and will commonly start from a particular point and then travel down your pelvis. Sometimes you may also feel these sensations as apart of intestinal movements. I would suggest you to observe how it behaves over next few days and if the pain increases or causes more discomfort then to consult a doctor and follow his advise. Meanwhile, please increase your water intake.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
