Periodic Muscle Spasms In Stomach. Gall Bladder Removed. Have Limited Scleroderma. Any Suggestions?
I have periodic muscle spasms in my stomach primarily in both the upper abdomen quadrants and the lower left abdomen quadrant. I have recently had gallbladder removed, which it was in really bad shape but I did not believe that that was what attributed to these spasms or any of my stomach problems that could be related to irritable bowel syndrome. I also have limited schleroderma which my doctor said maybe contributing to my sluggish intentinal system. Last colonoscopy was 3 years ago. All okay. Scheduled for another one this month. I am on several meds for acid reflux, still have issues. When I bend down, say to tie my shoes, say my right shoe, I get such a bad spasm upper abdomen right side. I have meds for the spasms but no one seems to know why I get them. So much going on but no answers. Any thoughts?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The periodic spasms in the stomach could be related to a minor intestinal infection or gastric irritation and abdominal distension commonly seen after cholecystectomy. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
