I m getting really awful stomach cramping accross my stomach but it comes and goes. It s like a period pain but I have just had my period & this pain is much worse. My ribs also hurt and feel bruised & tender but are not showing a bruise. Is this anything to worry about?

HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .
If the pain is severe then yes it's a matter of concern and you need to get medical attention as early as possible .
The probable causes of your Abdominal cramps are
1. Partial Intestinal Obstruction : In which the digested food cannot move forward and hence the intestine contracts forcefully to push it forwards causing cramping pain .
2. Pancreatitis : Is a condition in which there is inflammation of pancreas . Classically pain increases on taking food .

What Causes Cramping In The Stomach?
HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic . If the pain is severe then yes it s a matter of concern and you need to get medical attention as early as possible .

Pancreatitis : Is a condition in which there is inflammation of pancreas . Classically pain increases on taking food . 3. Kidney stones . 4. Gall Bladder Stones . I advise you to get Ultrasound abdomen pelvis , Urine routine , Serum Lipase test , LFT test done and revert back with reports . Till then you can take an Anti-spasmodic medication like Drotaverine for symptomatic relief . Ask your doctor for the prescription . Any doubts feel free to ask .
