I know it’s a little rough. You have stomach pains. You have cramps. It might come up in a conversation with a coworker if it’s really bothering you.
People who are ailing from things like a terminal illness, broken body parts, and any other condition under the medical rainbow don’t always work their illnesses into everyday conversation.
