Has anyone had this pain?

For the past few years, sometimes when I lean too far to the left or stretch and crunch my left side abdomen, I get what I can only describe as a sort of "abdominal Charlie horse".  The only way I can get rid of it is to stand up or lie down and stretch it out, rubbing that area at the same time.  I used to think it was my lap band doing something funky.  I had the band out in July this year and today is the first time it has happened since then, (which further made me think it was always band related).  It HURTS like hell until it stops, definitely feels "muscular" in nature.

I meant to ask the surgeon about it and kept forgetting.  Has anyone ever had these pains?

I get them quite often.  Both sides.  I just thought it was all because I was stretching out some tendon, and it was p*ssed at me. 

When I had my band I had them on occasion in the port area. it was definitely  a muscle pulling, very painful.  I have not had them since my band removal but it has been only been a week.
