What Causes Twitching And Pain In Abdomen With Bloating?

I am a 34 year old female, 5'6 158lbs. I have been experiencing twitching (almost like fetal movement) for the past month. In addition to the movement I have had lower back pain and bloating. I have had my period every month so do not think that I am pregnant.

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This can be due to infection causing inflammation of bowel & pain.
But as you have mentioned lower back pain, it is more likely due to a stone in urinary tract.
This stone causes obstruction to urine outflow, so smooth muscles in urinary tract contract excessively to overcome this obstruction & so is the pain.
Many such patients come to my clinic to whom I advise ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, X-ray KUB, urine routine, renal function tests & CBC.
For temporary pain relief, smooth muscle relaxants like drotaverine and diclofenac, tamsulosin are prescribed.
Definitive treatment is done accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Wish you healthy life.
Thanks.
Regards.
