Intercostal muscle spasms.

Recently I have had a really intense cramping spasm pain in my rib cage if I twist or stretch my abdomen. It’s the type of pain that makes me gasp, but only lasts for a minute and completely goes away. Knowing that it will quickly fade makes it bearable as long as I stay completely still.
it’s been happening 3 or 4 times a week for the last few months. Any idea what it might be? Or what might help? Magnesium maybe?

It's just tight muscles, or hiccoughs. Try doing some standing torso twists. You're probably just immobile there.
