Are Recurring Abdominal Spasms Related To Bowel Resection?

hello...i am female, will be 60 years of age in April and in good shape. Anyway, I was at the gym tonight...doing fairly easy ab exercises when my right lower abdomen (inside) went into a severe spasm....felt like a living organism got caught inside my skin and was trying to get out...did not hurt...just could not move. my primary concern with this is that I had a colonoscopy (2012) that went wrong and ended up in picu for five days and 12 of my lower intestine removed. surgeon repaired me well, i am not on a bag....however, could this be part of the spasm proble,.. i have had two other spasms,within the last couple of monts (was not excercising) but not as bad as this evening. i think i need to see my doctor, however, if i don t have to go,...other than this, i am in excellent health and take no meds.

Hello patient

According to the condition you have explained you might be suffering for muscle spasm.

You can take abdominal muscle relaxant like cyclospam to get relived from abdominal spasm.

If it doesn't help you should see the doctor &, further investigations should be done to see if any peoblems with previous surgery you had i. e. Colonoscopy or any new condition developing.

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Thanks & Regards
