I have been diagnosed with a Parkinson's like disease - Multiple Systems Atrophy with Dystonia. My biggest challenge is the abdominal spasms that I have when standing or walking. They lock me in a "crunch" position as if I were in an aerobics class and in a perpetual crunch. I have to fight this continual spasm to prepare dinner at the counter or to walk from one spot to another. I am finding it debilitating. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and has found some relief.
I appreciate you responding so quickly. I think my problem is different from your Mother's.
My stomach is fine. It's the abdominal muscles that spasm and go into contraction.
My mother had her stomach completely removed 30 yrs ago because of immobility. You need to see a gastranterologist. They can figure it out usually.
Thanks for you suggestion regarding a backwards stretch. It does help a little, but my spasms are constant while standing.
In 2015-16, I can't remember 🤔 I had pain so bad I couldn't take the vibration of driving or even walking. It was so severe my doctor did exploratory surgery. Nothing. In 2017 I began these horrible events that began with pain in the lower left quadrant. Pain, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea, sweating profusely on the tile floor. It was in fact hell. It started with maybe 3 times a year but was quickly becoming more regular.
Oddly enough it has gone away since my diagnosis and taking carbidopa/levodopa. Brain/gut connection...oh yeah!
Um starting to.worry about it
