I was lifting something heavy and felt stingy itchy pain inside my whole stomach could my intestines be deteriorating?

No - Probably musculoskeletal pain

Circumstances suggest rather abdominal muscles being involved, if symptoms persist seeing your doc would be best. Refrain from heavy lifting to allow for healing.

Nothing here suggests any problem with the intestines. If the symptoms started after lifting, it is likely a musculoskeletal problem, perhaps in the abdominal wall. If it persists, see your primary doctor first. Good luck.
