Charlie Horse In Abdomen, Distended, Hard, Ovarian Cyst, Inflammation. Treatment?

I have extreme fullness, stomach distention with Charlie horse in abdomen on right side. Stomach is distended at all times and very hard. If I eat, even a little bit, it gets so full that feels like it is going to burst. Liver enzymes good (thru blood work). Chronic inflammation found in abdomen w/two polyps removed. Also found cysts in ovaries (small).

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Charlie Horse is not a disease but spasm of muscles in body.
Rest is the best treatment for this .
In your case as far as known to me may be due to,
1 Hyper tension as you mentioned in your query that after eat of any thing abdomen become full and distends .I have seen in many cases where due to hyper tension patient feels fullness in epigastrium region ( as you are complaining).
Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood pressure examination by a physician , so get it .
2 Hyper acidity ( gastritis ) , diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy . Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks. It might also help to avoid eating or drinking 2 hours before you lie down.
One should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or spicy or greasy food .
Also take some antacid ,if symptoms are severe then you may need proton pump inhibitor.
3 As far as concerned about ovarian cysts , only they causes pain on both side in groin area.
In my opinion above mentioned reasons may be responsible so consult according to condition. Good luck. Dr. HET
