Could Sharp Pain In Lower Pelvic Region During Certain Movements Be Due To An Inflamed Muscle?
Hello, I have a sharp pain in my lower pelvic region but only when I either laugh, cough, or move a certain way and not every time. It been about 4 days and I have had no problem eating or anything else out of the ordinary. No other symptoms. It does feel like a muscle is causing this. Any clue if I need to see a doctor or is this most likely an inflamed muscle?

Sharp pain in lower pelvic region can arise due to several causes. In women, mostly a pathology associated with genitourinary system is the cause. But considering your symptoms, the pain looks to be arising due to a local nerve impingement arising due to some muscle spasm, not an inflammation. You need to see a doctor expert in pain management, such as a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physician or an Anaesthesist. Some muscle relaxants and proper stretches can help you overcome the pain.
