How Can severe Upper Abdominal Cramps Be Treated?
sometimes, at least once a month, I have a severe cramp in my upper right abdomen area when I strain to have a bowel movement. I usually can breath through it and it will go away, but this has been going on for years and I just had one that also sent pain to my back. What could be causing this?

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an ultrasound to rule out possible causes like renal stones.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
