Recently i have these painful spasms/twitching at the lower right side of my back, probably somewhere near the lower ribcage, it happens a few times per day and it goes away for a very brief short while, it feels likes something is pinching, or at worst stabbing, i can ignore it most of the time but recently the frequency is slightly higher. Hope its not gallstones, i am really afraid to undergo surgery. Do u guys hv any idea what this is, thanks a lot...

Seems like seeing the dr would be the right option. But the pain only last less than 5 secs, typically after meal or on a random basis and i would feel better after that, i thought it is a minor problem which does not need professional help, hopefully :/

Could be a muscle spasm but no real way to know without a physical exam.

Nameless, it could be many things. Gallstones, kidney stones, appendix, etc. It would be best to get it checked out. Might be nothing, might be something.

When my gall bladder went bad, it was WAY more than twitching. It was horrendous pain and copious vomiting and it all happened pretty suddenly.

Sounds more like muscles spasms, but you probably should see your doctor to get it checked out.

Gall bladder surgery was not a big deal in my case. A couple of small incisions and done with a scope. Not even really painful to recover from.

I went to see a dr due to gastric issues that comes along with the twitching and stabbing pain. I had been passing gas non stop for the past week and there has been periodic sharp pains in either side of my abdomen and stomach, with some reflux. He said i might be having food poisoning or gastritis as a result of virus. He gave me some antacids and probiotics which helped with the belching but it failed to solve the problem of excessive gas production, reflux and occasional sharp or weird stabbing pain. My appetite is fine, been passing stools normally although it appears in dark brown or slightly black. Sometimes the sharp pain radiates to my left shoulder, scares the hell out of me. I really wonder what is the underlying issue and should i see the doctor again. And
