What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen And Leg?

Tonight I lifted a elderly woman off the floor. Afterwards I had pain in my lower abdomen, along with my right leg running from my appendix incision to mid thigh. Anything to be concerned with, or is it just straining of the muscle. Btw, no distended areas, but belly is tender when I apply pressure.

Hi..

Your pain in the lower abdomen could be a soreness as you lifted the old women....

Normally it will get settled in 72 hours...

You can try..

Frequent icing on the lower abdomen painful area...
Gentle stretching if your hip flexor muscles in lunge position while your back leg resting over a bed or a raised platform...
In case you have any Anti inflammatory medication prescribed to you earlier you have a single dose of it...

Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard. .
