Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Your classical history of '' pain is like inserting pin from inside the belly'' and for the last 7 years is most indicative of a probable slipped disc at the thoracic vertebrae.
I would advise you the following:
First of all to get a Neurologist's opinion as the pain looks to be more of a Neurological reasons.
Go for MRI of the spine;
Secondly take an opinion of the Gastroenterologist, this will help in confirming or ruling any local intra-abdominal problem and get a probable diagnosis and plan for a treatment. He shall also ask for some investigations if required.

I find this answer helpful
