I have, for quite some time now, been subject to
severe, chronic
stomach pains. The location of the pain is only in the lower left part of my abdomen. The pains don't occur very often, minor bouts occur maybe once every other month. There have been, however, a few episode that put me in such pain I couldn't move or eat or drink. The pain would last anywhere from five to eight hours. The last time a bout like that occurred was in October of 2008.
