Hey, doctor-type-scab-lifty-sawbones-folks, what does it mean if it feels like somebody stuck their arm down your throat and tied a bowline in your guts?
That is to say: extreme discomfort somewhere in the general food-processing area, but really hard to localise to a specific organ?

IMX it's usually food poisoning, but it could be something more serious depending on the severity and length of the pain.

Jones: Mind going into a little more detail about the pain? Basic stuff: when it started, what it feels like, where it runs to, anything that makes it better or worse, etc.? And do you have any associated symptoms?
(Feel free to PM me if necessary.)

Seems to start just under the ribs, presumbly just beyond my stomach and seems to follow the route of the small intestine. It's kind of a weird empty pain, if you see what I mean? Kind of like...if everything in there had suddenly turned from half-digested mush to nothing but tapwater and my innards don't know how to cope. Also, the muscles in my abdomen feel kind of crampy. Burping a lot, too. Need to go to the toilet more often than usual.
Tried eating something, but now I just feel sick.
It comes on about an hour after I get to work and usually goes away after I've been home for a bit. Wondered if it might be the way I'm sitting, but moving makes it worse.
Wouldn't normally ask folk online, but it's getting pretty sore now. Like 'sweaty and panting' sore.
Hey, maybe it's a baby!

Shit. The reply got delayed.
Jones, would you mind heading down to a doctor in the flesh and getting it checked out? The location seems to suggest that it's coming from your upper gastrointestinal tract, liver or biliary tree, or pancreas, but the worrying part is that you said it's progressively getting worse since you started. There are quite a number of questions that I'm going to need to ask, and you probably need to be examined as well - I don't think a forum post is going to be able to cover everything in time.
(Incidentally, I appreciate trying to keep a stiff upper lip in the face of the pain, but I don't think you're fooling anyone.)

'In time'...?
Oh, bother.
If it helps, it's kind of calmed down to a mild sort of squirty feeling and a bit of nausea.

Shit, didn't mean it like that. I meant that a doctor asking the questions in real-time is going to be faster than me drafting a checklist.

Heheh. It's okay, I knew what you meant.

The fact that it's calming down is reassuring.

Yeah. It was getting a bit alarming for a bit. It'll probably go away when I get home, so it's most likely all in my head anyway.

You mentioned that it happens chronically, so I'd suggest getting checked up just to make sure it isn't anything serious.

Might be a plan.

A procrastination in of itself
If it happens only at work there's probably something environmental going on, be it the physical environment or psychological enviroment.

He didn't say that. Seriously, man. Take one step at a time and we'll see how it goes.

That was a joke. Well, partly. Think a lot of it is stress. Really sore again now.
