I don't know if this should be here .  I have some issues with IBS I also have back and hip ache

I have pain about 3 inches diagonally left down from my belly button and also less so to the right.

The pain is made worse when lying with my legs straight and better when I bend  my knees..

I don't have hernias but pain  is made better by compressing the area with my fingers or a belt . tape

any ideas

    You don't say how long you've had this pain so I'm going to guess it's relatively new like within the last week or so. It is very possible that what you have is constipation/impacted colon particular since you have IBS. Or the pain in your back is radiating around to your hip and even around to the front side.
