General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history and understood your problem.
You have got a lower abdominal pain that travels across the abdomen and becomes sharp on standing up after sitting for a long time.
Thinking of Psoas muscle.
Yes , this is a possibility and a clinical examination of a Psoas test will confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
If the test is positive, you have to undergo MRI scan for the Spine as the Psoas muscle comes from it and its affection in anyway causes such a pain.

Another possibilities are :
Hernia
Muscular strain and sprains of the anterior abdominal wall.

Get an examination done by a General Surgeon to have a proper physical examination which helps better than the investigations in such a case.
Get diagnosed and properly treated.
