How do they differ?

I have a pain in my stomach.
I have pain in my stomach.
Can anyone please tell me how these two sentences differ in meaning?
I'm quite confused.
Thank you.

There is no difference in intent. The first is a natural English utterance; the second is not natural except perhaps as a response to a doctor who asks what your symptoms are.
