What Causes Frequent Cramps In Internal Obliques?
I have cramps periodically in my internal obliques. Sometimes it is brought on by nothing more than trying to hold in a laugh. Is there anything that causes that. I have had a number of blood test ran, I have had MRIs and I have had sonograms. My doctor has not been able to find anything. I am 69 years old male, about 25 lbs. over weight. All lab results show that I am with in range or just a few points over.
