Pain

[kanu]

My stomach is paining.

There is a pain in my stomach.

I'm not sure about whether first version is right or wrong.
Second one sounds natural to me.

My stomach is paining.

There is a pain in my stomach.

My stomach is hurting.

 

[kanu]

There is a pain in my stomach. (I think, this is right.)

It's correct, but not particularly idiomatic, at least in AE, where we'd be more likely to say "I have a pain in my stomach."

(We personalize physical ailments rather than treating them in a detached manner.)

Thank you, What is your opinion about first one ?

Don't ever use it.

As Copyright says, don't use it.

The only instance I can think of that uses the verb 'to pain' is 'It pains me to say . . . ', but that is relatively rare, and you can't extrapolate ' . . . is paining' from it.

Yes, I think the verb pain is used only in reference to emotional pain, and mainly impersonally: It pains me that you still refuse to speak to her.
