What Causes Cramps?

I get really painful cramping under my ribs,ometimes feels like a knot comes up there, almost like a
pregnant woman feels when her baby is moving or poking his knees in her ribs, but I am not pregnant, have had a hysterectomy. It comes on when I bend or move in a certain way.

Hi and thanks for the query,
Cramps arise from sustained contractions. This could be due to over stimulation of a muscle. at times, low amounts of specific ions like low calcium and magnesium could lead to cramps. Suggest you get a reveiw from your primary care doctor. Kind regards
