Get Help: These are not normal symptoms and could be serious. "Excruciating" pain is never a reasonable or good sign. Establish with a health care professional as soon as possible and get checked out. This could be problems with your GI tract, lungs, muscles and bones or vascular disease. An examination and testing will provide the answer and treatment to relieve your symptoms.
