When someone complains all the time that she feels something is
pinching, grinding, moving/crawling around inside her body, what do
you look for?

I have thought she's imagining it but it's persisted and doctors do
not seem to believe her.

Has she visited any tropical places...like south america/SE asia? There are
some biting flies that will lay eggs which then develop in the human body.

It could be nerve pain. A common feeling with a pinched sciatic nerve is
that ants are crawling on the leg. Sometimes it feels like someone is
hammering intermittently on the knee cap. Other times there is the "demon
fingertips" effect where it feels like invisible fingers are running up and
down the thigh.

I've suffered from these and many more after rupturing a vertebral disc. By
this point I attribute just about any pain below the waist that isn't
associated with a gaping wound to nerve pain. <sigh>

Has she tried a neurologist?

A pinching, grinding, crawly moving around thing. I may even get Sigourney
Weaver to help :-)
X-ray?, MRI scan? If she can afford to get these done, that should eliminate
any entity;-)

My daughter and her husband went to the tropics (central america) and he
came back with some kind of creature crawling around, leaving a track,
on the bottom of his foot. Lasted about a week to ten days, and then it
died.

Very spectacular, but no creepy crawly feeling reported.

j.

some kind of spurious nerve impulses seem reasonable if she had not been
to the tropics.

I am late replying here, so please excuse.

For a month or two some years ago--before being diagnosed diabetic--I had
the sensation in my lower abdomen that something was moving under the skin.
When I tried to put my hand on the pain (a burning sensation), the pain
stopped there, but shifted an inch or so to one side or another.

It didn't last long each time I felt the pain, so I wasn't frightened. When
I mentioned it to my MD, she couldn't see anything there, and mentioned that
it sounded to her like shingles in the pre-eruption phase. About a month
later, after the pain stopped burning and turned to more of an ache, I saw
in the mirror that I had 3 small black mole type marks in that location. I
never did get the awful burning that some people get with shingles, and I
never tried any of the remedies then being promoted--capsaicin derivatives,
etc. But I am pretty convinced that my doctor nailed it on her diagnosis.
(Two siblings have had mild cases of shingles.)

Your description did not limit the movement to "just under the skin",
however, and my sensation was limited to "just under the skin".
