Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Bloating, Pain And Cramps

My 20 year old daughter is experienced abdominal bloating, cramping and pain coupled with forearm pain which she describes as feeling like she has had an IV in both arms. It begins in the elbow crease and radiates to the wrist. Any ideas? Many thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history related to your 20 years old daughter related to the abdominal bloating, cramping and pains; also has pain in the forearms beginning in the elbow crease and radiates to the wrists .
Both the problems may be unrelated.
The abdominal complaints can be due to intestinal obstruction or infection. Get X-ray of the abdomen in the standing position, ultrasonography, stool and blood tests and get treated.
The pain in the forearm as you have mentioned can be due to muscle compartment syndrome, thyroid problems, nerve problems and needs clinical examination and investigations accordingly.
