Does Anyone Have Abdominal Spasms So Strong That They Can Not Stand Erect And Walk Without Extreme Discomfort?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Jacksonville, FL

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.
