Brief Answer:
Possible diverticulitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
If this is related to movements then it may be muscle sprain or pinched nerve but also this location may be related to diverticulitis so you should get abdominal CT scan done to rule this out. You should also drink ORS fluids and have high fiber diet to soften you stool.
Let me know if there's any further queries..
Wish you good health. Regards
