What Causes Sharp Pain In The Abdominal Area?

I was lifting my husbands tool box. I felt a twinge in my back. But when I stood up the pain in my abdominal area was sharp and crampy. Do you think I have pulled a muscle in my abdominal area. The pain came straight after lifting the tool box. Thank you

Hi.

Thanks for the query!

The reason behind the pain could be a severe abdominal strain or even a tear of abdominal muscles.

Kindly visit your physician to rule out inguinal hernia which occurs when a part of small intestine protrudes through a weak hole or a tear in abdominal muscles.

Hope this helps.

Take care!
