Ibs pain has changed location

hi, im 58, had ibs for 30 years. recently had every test under the sun to rule put other conditions. All was found was a polyp to be removed this week via colonoscopy , praying all will be ok

My ibs over last 3 months has been debilitating me , more than ever and is mainly causing SEVERE pain lower left abdomen radiating to and from it seems my groin area which feels very sore and painful.

Other conditions ruled out.

the pain in groin seems to go from there up to lower abdomen , down leg and around lower left region. I also have severe gurgling noises when pain happens.

Pain stops when asleep and as soon as i wake up, move around etc it starts. so so painful.

this area of pain is new to me as was always all over stomach and manageable , now its horrendous.

Now scared to eat in case it makes it worse and lost appetite due to nerves.

i suffer SEVERE anxiety which was heightened around the time this new pain area started , ,

this so painful and im sure is worsened by my anxiety - long story.

just need to know -

a) - does anyones ibs hurt in groin area almost as if radiating from there

b) - has anyones ibs changed location to one particular spot after many years ?

please no horror stories as already anxious about this and colonoscopy on wednesday 7th Feb.

very very anxious person. Also praying colonoscopy doesnt make pain worse or that pain is too bad for them to do it as its important i have polyp removed which was found on previous colonoscopy 4 weeks ago.

thank you.
