Smooth muscle spasms: It is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include pain, bloating, and cramps. Irritable bowel syndrome, gas, constipation, and muscle strain could be the causes of gastrointestinal muscle spasms.
