Hi. Im experiencing inexplicable pain in my stomach. In the beginning if felt like someone twisted my stomach, and now it more like someone has turned my intestines or my stomach into a twist. It is truly a devastating pain. What might it be, and what can I do?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Such a severe pain in abdomen of the character of twisting can come due to an intestinal obstruction due to many reasons like, kinking, stricture or a cancer; or can occur due to a condition called a volvulus of the intestines in which the part of the gastrointestinal tract can get twisted at two points.

The simplest test is X-ray of the intestines / abdomen in a standing position.
You may need an urgent surgery to relieve / correct one.
I would advise you to rush to ER and get admitted investigated and operated if it is a must.
