Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for explaining the entire history.

Most likely, it is a neurogenic pain as it is sharp on touch. You have to consult a gastroenterologist to look for acid peptic disease.

It is better to consult a gastroenterologist soon personally as it needs a physical examination.
