What Causes Abdominal Pain During Moving Or Stretching The Body?

I have been having pain in my upper addomen for several months. The pain only occurs when I move. Usually gets worse during the day and when I first go to bed, it is difficult to get up due to the pain. After sleeping, overnight, the next morning, no pain until I start movement or straing the stomach area. Had a Cat scan yesterday, and they found nothing. I have no pain except when I move or stretch the abdoment area. The pain can be pretty severe when it occurs.

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

With the kind of history you narrated, possibly you have got some kind of muscle spasm which is causing pain during movement. If I were your doctor, I would advise you to go for some anti inflammatory drugs for three to four days which should relieve your symptoms. Even though your CT scan is normal, I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen if it was not done to rule out any gall stone disease though unlikely in your case. Further management would depend on the result of a clinical examination and investigation reports.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
