Hello, I am a 34 year old women who just started working out again. I have sharp shooting pain in my right lower abdomen while doing sit ups. The pain continues after working especially when I go from the horizontal to the upright position. Could this pain be caused by a hernia? Or is the pain caused by a feminine issue such as ovary cysts?
