A member asked:

Brief sharp sensations in my lower abdomen when i stretch the wrong way, that can be triggered by laying a specific way, laughing and coughing. thanks?

Muscle: These muscle spasms are like a charley horse. Since they are recurrent and if they occur frequently, it's advisable to get checked for deficiencies of calcium, magnesium or potassium which are causes of muscle irritability.
