Charlie horse in stomach.

Apr 25, 2020

I have the exact thing happen nearly every day to me.  Huge Charlie Horse cramps in my stomach area. I had my gallbladder removed over 15 years ago, had gastric sleeve in 2012, then a tummy tuck in 2017. My plastic surgeon did mention to me during the tummy tuck he noticed I was not lined up properly so he had to make me even, said my belly button wasn’t aligned with my center of my pelvis.  He wouldn’t go into much detail. Always remember that comment by him.  I have seen my regular family doctor who said she would like me to go on muscle relaxers before she sent me out for CT and all that other stuff.  I haven’t taken the muscle relaxer much.  I did at first and noticed a bit of improvement but don’t care for it much.  So stop taking now.  I need answers.  Please the pain is one Charlie horse after another over and over in. Y stomach to the left side right near my bellybutton.  Can’t even move when this happens.  I can only apply pressure with my fist, after it happens I have to not make any movement with my arms, like pick anything up or bam!!!starts again.  Dealt with this for 4 years now.  I get it when I bend over to pull my pants up when using restroom or move or reach in a way bending over.  It’s so weird.  I have gotten good at breathing my way through the Charlie horses.  Any answers please.
