10. Muscle Strain
The body comprises a network of muscles, with the abdominal muscles stretching down from the chest area. Pain from a pulled or strained intercostal muscle can extend to the abdominal region.
Overexercising, sit-ups or heavy lifting can cause muscle strain, particularly in the oblique muscles. Lower back pain can also radiate to the front of the body, causing pain. Muscle strain can take anything from a few days or weeks to pass.
