How Can Severe Cramps In The Abdominal Muscles Be Treated?
while mowing the lawn I caught my headgear on a large limb. Before stopping the riding mower I leaned back and put intense pressure on my abdomen muscles. I felt like I had a severe muscle cramp in the upper left or mid left rib area. When I reached up to feel the area there was a large long lump sausage size. In a matter of a few seconds the pain subsided and the lump was gone. There was some minor pain at the rib sternum area left side. I lost all the pain today after heat treatment last night. Even lifted weights this AM, no pain. Muscle Spasm?

Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. It seems you had just a muscle spasm...though you don't have any pain.. it would be safer to have a local check up by your family doctor.To exclude any trauma to precious organ like spleen/rib. Thanks.
