Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have fever/ watery shit/ vomiting/ spasmodic abdominal pain/ acidic belching?
Do you have yellow discoloration of sclera and urine/ itching/ loss of appetite?
Is this abdominal pain relieved after defecation?
Do you have burning sensation of urine/ increased frequency of urination?
Pain after lifting and helping during house move indicates sprain on muscles.
You should consult with physician and should take muscle relaxants.
If your condition won't improve after taking muscle relaxants then you should go for following investigations: complete blood count, liver function test, renal function test, ultrasound imaging and x XXXXXXX abdomen.
Put your views also.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
