It does get worse, but only for a few seconds to a few minutes,
after both
eating and drinking. Sometimes when walking for a prolonged period of time, it also starts to hurt, though not "stop me in my tracks" intensely. My bowel movements are pretty infrequent, only once in the last 2 days, and have had a noticeable loss in appetite and slight bloating. The pain has gotten better since it started (the first night it woke me from my sleep), but it is still very noticeable.
