gnawing pain
Dull, relentless discomfort
A gnawing pain is a persistent, dull ache that seems to eat away at you from within—the kind that doesn't stab or throb but steadily wears on you like something chewing.
It describes physical sensations a gnawing pain in her stomach and emotional ones the gnawing pain of regret.
The image is of being slowly consumed.
