Hello everyone.
So for the majority of what I can remember my stomach has hurt for YEARS. I've been to the Dr. I've seen a gastro dr. as well. And so far they came up with nothing. Made me change my diet. Wasn't that. Made me do a Colonoscopy & an Endoscopy to find nothing. Then tried getting me on some weird meds that made me kind of crazy.
It's just a pain that comes in on my stomach or my sides. Sometimes my back. Not sure if anyone felt the same way and had any solutions but please fill free to share. Just wanted to put this somewhere where other people can understand me and not tell me I'm faking it.
Hi Zoe
I had severe abdominal pains for 6 years, saw so many different doctors and had every test done you can possibly have only to show that nothing was wrong before finally getting diagnosed with IBS about 6 months ago now, for me it was about finding the right doctor to really get to the bottom of what was causing all my symptoms(pain, bloating, alternating constipation and diarrhea and gas/flatulence). In the past I was told that it was just period pain or that it’s just in my head.
I would try seeing different doctors and find one who understands and can help you feel better.
Hope this helps, good luck 😊
It could be IBS if your bowel habits have changed and your pain moves about. Have your doctors suggested IBS? If nothing else has shown, up, IBS will be your diagnosis.
