NHS Direct (got called back by a nurse and a doctor) did that to me late last year when I woke up in the night thinking someone was stabbing me (I live alone so it wasn't the Mrs!). It's only wind they said......
After a couple of hours of putting up with the pain which was getting worse and worse in my side/groin area I tried to drive myself to hospital and failed, so ended up having to call an ambulance at 5AM on a Sunday (I felt well guilty as to me ambulances are only to be used if you're about to die). The ambulance guy told me he knew I was in bad pain as my pulse was doing about 120 a min sitting still and my blood pressure was way high. Turned out it was a Kidney stone deciding it was time to leave my body!
That was, officially, the worst pain I have ever felt in my life
The pain even made me chunder several times.
