crawling skin?

Question

I ve had a pain in my abdomen (left side, waist height) for 3 days which only goes away when i lie down. When i lie down i can see that my skin is moving, like theres something underneath close to the surface, it sort of twitches, aagh, help

Answer 1

go to the doctor

Answer 2

I dunno about the pain in the abdomen, but the crawling skin sounds like fasciculations.... not the whole muscle spasming but the individual muscle fibers twitching

Common Causes of muscle twitches:
Benign twitches (not caused by disease or disorders) Often affecting the eyelids, calf, or thumb are normal and quite common, often triggered by:
Stress or anxiety
A diet deficiency
Drug overdose (caffeine)
Drug side effect (diuretics, corticosteroids, estrogen)
Exercise

Symptoms suggestive of a neurological cause of fasciculations include:
Wasting of muscle
Weakness
Other findings of nerve dysfunction

Neurological illnesses where fasciculations are seen include:
Chronic denervation of muscle due to disc compression of nerve exiting the spinal cord
ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)
Spinal muscular atrophy
Muscular dystrophy
Myopathy

Answer 3

It sounds a lot like worms..nothing to be worried about, just go to the doctors and he can sort it out for you by antibiotics or minor (VERY minor) surgery.

Answer 4

Go and see the doctor! No really, go NOW. Sounds really odd to me and i would be straight down the doctors if not the hospital!

Answer 5

its a pulled or strained muscle, what you can see 'twitching' is the muscle spasm.
wouldnt worry about it to be honest but deepheat or an icepack should relieve the pain.
if no change in a few days there is no change go to your docs.

Answer 6

The film alien springs to mind.

Answer 7

if ya was a girl i would say you were pregnant.... but a boy...hmmm must be an alien, or you could have worms.
