Did you ever find out what is causing this? I too, am experiencing these egg-like, hard knots protruding thru my upper abs near my ribs and it feels like a cramp! I get them now on both my left and right sides.
9-6-2022 To jholmes900214744 - I've been reading all of the posts on this thread, and though it's been a long time, I'm going to post anyway.
You mentioned some doctors think it has something to do with prior surgeries and the adhesions pulling on a muscle. I would agree with this as a possibility. I never had any problems with abdominal cramping until after I had gastric bypass surgery in 2008. Now, I have excruciating muscle cramps below my stomach but above my bellybutton. It usually happens when I'm sitting. I also try to stay well hydrated, and take multivitamins (including iron) everyday. I also spray my feet and lower legs with Magnesium Oil in the evenings (wiping it off after 20 minutes), and I try to drink one electrolyte drink (Gatorade Zero) everyday. I still have these cramps, though not everyday.
It does cause me to also wonder how many of the people on here have had prior surgeries?
Well, I'm going to continue reading the comments on here!

Have you ever heard of osteochondritis? I have the same pain and spasms and especially when I stretch to get something out of a cabinet or even turn suddenly, it is so awful, so painful, it feels like my ribs are trying to get out. Anyway check on the internet for osteochdritis
