Your decending colon (one of the last areas where excrement passes) and small intestines are coiled in that area. If the pain is deep, it could be a hernia. This is not lethal but a visit to a doctor would be in order.
It could also be that you have a bit of constipation (difficulty with a bolus of large, firm waste passing). Drink more liquids and if you have a bowel movement and feel better, then you probably don't have a hernia.

If you have a sharp, shooting pain - it needs to be looked at by a doctor.

i dont think sharp pains indicated organ damage. If you skin turns yellow and you start vomiting, that is a better sign
