 You may be experiencing pain related to severe constipation. I have seen this produce fairly severe pain. It generally resolves after bowel movements have been reestablished.
If your pain continues to worsen I would recommend that you be evaluated by your doctor. There are a few conditions including diverticulitis and possible a retrocecal appendicitis that can give abdominal pain such as this.
Once you are more regular, you may want to talk to your doctor about a bowel regimen to keep you regular and prevent future constipation.
Best wishes.
