For the later 2 weeks, I have been recieving nearly constant localized spasms by my lowest right rib. I do not know if it is intestinal, abdominal muscles, or stomach or whatever organ, but it is painful some of the time and uncomfortable all the time. It usually happens every few minutes (give and take lots) when sitting down, but it also happens when standing. At first I thought it was gas, but that was the first day. It has persisted. Could this be a hernia, twisted intestines (im still stooling) or anything else that could be life threatening sooner or later, or is this just a simple case of muscle spasm that has persisted a little longer than usual and to a greater extent of pain an uncomfortableness. If so, how can i get it to stop. I drink plenty of water, get sleep, im not stressed, and i get excercise (not to overexaustion). Please help and sorry for my bad spelling.

It could be one of many things. You should go see a doctor ASAP. If you have moving stool then there's no bowel obstruction to worry about... depending on the area of the spasm it could just be that... a muscle spasm. If it is anywhere near your intestines, you may feel some pain because it could be pressing on a "poop-filled" intestine. That hurts... been there, done that. Just go see a doctor, he/she will be able to feel around your abdomen for obstructions, protrusions, etc... Not something that can be diagnosed over the internet. With that said, I wish you luck and hope you get to feeling better! : )

LISTEN I AM 100% RIGHT ON THIS. It sounds like Gall Stones...in your gallbladder. Do not eat any oils or fats. Your Gallbladder helps produces bile from your liver to your intestines to digest fatty foods. The stones block the port and cause severe pain in the rib area on the right side. Not life threatning but if left a lone real painful and possible liver damage that maybe life threatning.
Talk to your doctor. Get an untra sound done. Get it removed when you can...make sure your health care insurance in line. See link for further info.

Sounds like you have gall bladder problems, maybe liver or pancreatitis, make a Drs appointment or go to ER, the pain with any of the above will only get worse and you can get a potential fatal effect. If the pain is worse after eating some fat or hard to digest food then it is probably GB. if you get in soon you won't need surgery, the stones can be removed with an ERCP procedure- DO NOT WAIT! please

I'm afraid no one will be able to tell you for sure what it is over the internet. You should go to a doctor, and let them figure it out. Heaven forbid it should be something life-threatening! Anyway, the doc can tell you what it is, tell you what to do about it.
If you spend a lot of time at the computer, maybe it's a postural cramp?

It could be nothing or it could be something. Any uncomfortable/painful condition that persists for more than a couple of days should at least be discussed with a doctor.

you should see a doctor.
and if you don't, here's my idea of what it is:
you may have pulled one of the muscles between your ribs. i did it a few years ago, and it took the muscle around 2 1/2 weeks to heal. it felt sharp and intense when i moved too fast.
if it's just abnormal cramps, try eating bananas. a lack of potassium can give you cramps.
but i recommend you go to a doctor. the only thing it can hurt will be your wallet.

in a 12 cup coffee maker, just like if you are making a pot of coffee but without the coffee. ONLY water and make sure that you use a filter everything should be the same as you make coffee but without the coffee start the coffee maker while it is brewing "the water only" take a half hour walk FIRST when you come back start drinking that water just like if you drink coffee in a "coffee cup" this should clear your system. just make sure that you use a filter and see what happens.

..Certainly no one can diagnose you unless they can exam you. However, your symptoms sound remarkably like either a hernia or a gallbladder problem..
..sorry I cannot help better than that.
...hey, the good news is that is not usually life threatening, but the pain can make you wonder..ha!
.. suggest you breakdown and see your Doc! Good luck.

Since it has been going on for some time, I would check with your doctor about it. It could be very simple, so don't worry. Just go get looked at.

Yahoo! answers can never replace seeing a doctor! See one quickly, not because I think that your life is in instantaneous danger, but because pain might get worse.
