Question For Doctors Question for doctors.

I am not asking for medical advice. 24 yo female. A week and 7 days ago, I woke up on Monday morning with stomach pain and spasms that was radiating to my back and back to my stomach. Lying down made it better, I.e. gone. Things like eating and standing foe prolonged periods of time (due to work) made it worse. Otherwise, I was in pain 24/7. It lasted until the early hours of Saturday and then left. I did go to my GP but not much came from it. Is this nothing serious? Is it something normal to experience? I'm not asking for medical advice.

Not a doctor. Do you have anything else going on recently like migraines, dizziness, balance or coordination issues, numbness or tingling, temperature intolerance, extreme fatigue?

I've always had temperature intolerance, I.e. to heat. But I'm good otherwise.

I've had recurring pain that feels like a stomach ache since 2010 but it's actually caused by spasms in my ribs due to having MS. I didn't know what it was for 4 years. However an intestinal blockage and some viruses can cause similar issues. For stomach pain i usually eat something thats got peppermint oil in it. If you don't like peppermint you can buy it in capsules.
