Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, this can be the obvious reason as you have rightly thought about.
Hyper-extension of the right arm and right truck rotation will cause the increase in the intra-abdominal pressure, and increase in hernial protrusion causing pain.
Get investigated and consult a Surgeon to rule out causes of such a pain and get treated accordingly.
