hi
i have been told i have IBS by a few doctors at my practice and then one said i dont. i have belly pain and issues for over a year now. and i then discovers an umbilical hernia. wich i had repaird with laprascopic surgery at the end of july. problem is since then i keep getting constipated i have a burning pain in my belly like i swallowed hot lava. and a knawing pain in the left side of my abdomen about half way up. which is better in the morning but worse as day goes on. till it hurts to much to bend or twist. and i get a shap pain lower left side when i twist etc. i dont know if this is IBS or not. i went to my surgeon he said well its nothing to do with me and told me to see my doc. which i am but its 4 weeks wait. problem is it is consuming my life. im not going out at all and just stay in for fear of aggrivating my pain. and im scared to death. i know me i know this just not right at all anyone else any ideas???

My IBS began three months after an incompetent nurse massacred my arm during a blood test. I was in substantial pain for two months and even now the pain has never fully gone.
If you have further tests and they are all negative, it is likely you have Irritable Bowel. I had terror, panic, anxiety and despair before I was diagnosed. I think it's time to change your doctor.

I'm the same with the left pains. Horrible it is. My fast to doctor says it's probably a spasm. But I don't think it is for how horrific it is.
Can you not see another doctor or even ring up everyday to see if there are any cancelations? Or even go up to A&E.
