What Causes Painful Cramps On The Left Side Of The Body?
I have had minor cramping on my left side. It is a bit painful for a moment and feels hard and then goes away. My husband reqularly has cramps in his legs which wake him up and so forth. The cramping isn t that bad, but this time I felt some sort of move up and down around that same area. Is that just the cramp moving or is there an alien inside my body. Just joking about the aliien. Since I sat down her at the compluter, I have not felt anyting.

Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that the most common cause of cramping sensation in the body is electrolyte disturbance. I would advise you to get a serum electrolytes done. If it comes clear then we have to consider other causes like nerve compression or DVT. For time being drink lots of water and take a calcitriol sachet once weekly. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
