I just had (what feels like) a charlie horse in my lower right abdomen while laying down and stretching. This has happened 2 times now in a week or so. Has this ever happened to anyone?
I, um, third the motion. If this hasn't happened before this week, go ahead and talk to your doctor. Even if you're asked to go to the office, go and get checked up. If it's nothing serious, you'll know it for sure. If there is a real problem, you can start getting it taken care of. While you're talking to the doctor, ask what to do when you work out. I do get abdominal muscle cramps once in a while when I exercise. Ouch!
maybe i'm missing something...this sounds like a cramp? especially if you are stretching those muscles.
bottom line there's really no way for us to know what this is. i guess talk to your dr?
I think you ought to go to the doctor, honestly. Here's what I found, looking it up online, but I don't know if it's helpful. Please get checked out!!

Most "charlie horses" are due to dehydration - the muscle contracts due to lack of fluid.
If you are stretching and exercising - what is your WATER consumption?
Then let's consider your appendix. That is on the right hand side of your abdomen. However, if it was appendicitis, I would hazard a guess that you would be running a fever and have more constant pain.
Contact your advice nurse and tell them what is going on. They may want to see you.
