Every time I have a bowel movement I get awful pain in my
lower stomach. It lasts hours , days if I have another bowel
movement . I have had 3 sigmoidoscopies which showed I have
diverticulosis but this isn't causing the pain . It's so bad I have ended up in hospital on many occasions but they can't find the
problem. Anyone else suffering the same ? Any ideas on what it could be ? It feels like inflammation when the stool goes over the area in my bowel , I'm left to cope now as hospital can't see anything but I'm at the end of my tether with the pain .
Ideas / advice appreciated.
Thanks.
Have you been diagnosed with IBS?
Can you relate it to anything you have eaten?
If it is IBS you could try COLPERMIN or BUSCOPAN.
COLPERMIN you can buy over the counter from a chemist.
BUSCOPAN you can buy from MORRISONS
If you find they help you can get both on prescription.
Hope this helps.
Take care and keep in touch

Hi Sarah, I was diagnosed with IBS 25 years ago
But this isn't the same type of pain . Buscopan does nothing for me
and I can't take any type of peppermint or spearmint .
I'm really struggling with the pain after a BM and the medical profession
aren't taking me seriously. Don't know where to turn next .
