Sharp Nervy Twitch Like Stabbing Pain On Right Side Of Stomach Or Lower Rib Cage, Small Area Painful To Touch. Thoughts?

Hi, I was just lying on bed with my partner and I had a sharp nervy twitch or stabbing pain on the right side of my stomach or lower right rib cage. It feels a little uncomfortable now and after self examination and pressing around the area there is one small area that is painfull to touch 6 or 7 on the pain scale 10 being the worse pain. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,

Twitches can happen for lots of reasons like stress, too much caffeine, a poor diet, exercise, over use or fatigue or as a side effect of some medications. They may occur at times as a result of stress or anxiety.

Usually these will wane off with time and are not a matter of concern.

Getting enough sleep, avoiding too much caffeine, and eating healthy foods (like lots of fruits and vegetables), can help prevent some muscle twitches.

If the twitches persist for a longer time, you may need to consult a neurophysician to rule out any underlying neurological disorders.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and Informative.
