Hi All
Just wondering if anybody out there can help with the types of pains I should be getting that are associated with IBS.
Since yesterday I have been having all sorts of abdominal, chest and back pains that feel like I'm being stabbed randomly by either something sharp or something blunt. These are the normal / usual pains I get, however there is one pain I have been getting that is different to these and is quite worrying. I have a sore, stinging, tearing pain inside me around my lower left abdomen, level with my belly button. It seems to ease off then flare up, and keeps repeating this process, it also seems to get worse with movement as well. Is this a typical IBS pain, or could it be something else. This pain is different to the usual pains, which is why I'm asking for some help.
Any info, help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
If I was you I would seek medical advice just incase. If you live in the uk contact the non emergency number and they will advise you if you need to see anyone and who.
Thanks for your reply.
I have been in contact with doctors and non emergency numbers before concerning this pain, as it happens every now and again. As I have been diagnosed with IBS they all say its part of IBS, so there's no real point in contacting them. I've had endoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, stool and blood tests for all sorts done with no issues
I'm not in excruciating pain, but it does affect my mobility. I don't have any other problems, not feeling sick or unwell in any way. I was just hoping to get some info from IBS sufferers to see if these pains are typical.
Thanks for advice anyway.
I don't get stinging pain with my IBS but everyone is different. I initially had dull to deep grinding pain, sharp stabbing sensations, and neuralgic sore to touch pain. All this has much improved now.
