Ouch, that sounds really terrible. I wish you luck at your doctors. Did they tell you not to take Advil? My doc said it would cause ulcers in the stomach. I can't take tylenol, makes me violently ill. No advil really bummed me out.

I don't think pain is ever normal. Having said that, it really takes a toll on our stomachs when we throw up. I've only done it twice but never had a sharp pain, no matter how small.
Good luck and I hope everything is fine.
