What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain?

My lower right abdomen hurts almost like a pulled muscle but increases with a deep breathe. I don't remember doing anything to aggrevate it but maybe I did. I have had my appendix taken out years ago but maybe diverticulitis? I was told I had it years ago but never had an attack.

HI.
You are talking of a disease for which you should get thoroughly investigated by colonoscopy and CT scan abdomen.
Anyway the pain in lower abdomen as you have described looks to have underlying pathology.
Get investigated fast.
Start on antibiotics, soft bland diet, preferably more of a liquid diet.
