What Causes Muscle Spasms In The Abdomen After Putting On Excessive Weight?

I have gained a lot of weight in my stomach in the past 6 months and sometimes I can move or turn a certain way and it feels like I have a charley horse under my left ribs. Also, I have had what feel like charley horses in my stomach area. What may be causing this?

Hi,

Putting on weight and pain in the abdomen are not related. But your rectus abdominis muscle faces more strain while getting up and doing exertion.

Other possibilities like fatty liver or hepatitis or renal stone may present like this.

You need to be examined to know the cause of pain. Is it intraabdominal or rectus muscle related.

Please get an ultrasound abdomen, urine examination then consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
