General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Since the history of pain is sporadic like once or twice in a month, but of the severity of 10, there has to be a reason.
You have to undergo investigations :
Standing X-ray of the whole abdomen.
Barium studies for intestines.
CT scan of the abdomen.

These studies along with Clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon will give you a diagnosis, which may be intestinal obstruction, volvulus, pancreatitis and so on. The further treatment will depend upon the proper diagnosis.

I hope this answer helps you.
