I'll keep it short and sweet...f**k me, whoever thinks trapped wind is just a prude holding in a good fart, trust me, it bloody hurts!!

Suffering the same tonight and have thrown up. The pain is truly grim. Hope you feel better soon.

Sometimes it's mild for me but occasionally it's excruciating. On Friday I was doubled over.

I've had it in my side before, lasted about 4 days. Was a bloody nightmare.

I had it so bad on Friday I nearly fainted. Sat down on the floor on my bum with an awful bump!
I think it's a bug though as I've not been right for a few days.

I have trapped wind following emergency open appendectomy.

The pain is excruciating and I can't move about to get it going.

I had this after a recent op. Peppermint tea was recommended by my surgeon and got it moving pretty quickly

It's like in the middle under my breast bone (sternum?)

Are you sure it's not severe heartburn, I had that whilst pregnant, was truly awful! Zantac worked wonders for it.
