Answers:
It could be a lot of things including gas, appendicitis, bowel problems, etc. If it keeps on, gets worse, or you develop other symptome, see a doc.
Please see a doctor before things get worse.
Good luck.
Could be appendicitis. Get it checked by a doctor.
Right lower quadrant abdominal pain could be many things...if you are female you could be ovulating. could be appendicitis. in any event, I would see my doctor if it continues because it could be something very serious.
Could be in the intestines, something as simple as gas. It can really hurt. For sure, if you develop a fever, get to a doctor quick. You might try taking some antacid and lay down on your ride side. For some reason, if it gas, this seems to relieve it. Don't ignore any pain though - If it persists, see a doctor. Pain is a symptom to tell you something is wrong.
Most common
Muscles like ropes are made of many fibers or strands. If some of the individual fibers that work in combination to make the muscle strong are not relaxing they bulk up in the middle and are stretched thin on the ends which results in the appearance of "knots" they are the tender spots. The muscles that effect headaches can come from as far away as the lower back and include shoulders, arms, neck and head causing a cascade effect. So a massage (professional if possible) will help.
Specific to the leg - run your hand lengthwise down the section of leg that hurts. You will find tender spots these are the knots described above. Apply pressure to this area in a similar motion just over the length of the knot - it will take many sessions of doing this once or twice per session to get the muscle to relax.
Specific to the head - at the base of the skull where it connects to the spine there is a ridge in an upsidedown V like shape - press in and up to the count of three, three times to help relax the muscles there. All through the hair scratch lightly the head you will find tender spots those are knots (rub the rest of the head) the idea is to go over them semi frequently until they are gone.
General - Muscles need magnisium (regulates many things) and potassium - both can be found in bananas or molasses (a swig or two)
Hydrate with any nonsugar (even the substitutes) liquids - quantity = your body weight divided by 2 times ounces daily. The head of neurology (10 years ago) at UCDavis told my husband that running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil - there will be problems.
Reference - The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies teaches about muscles and how to help them yourself.
