    I agree with all the above see a DR , I got out of hospital yesterday after having an emergency operation for the similar symptoms that have been ongoing for some time now. it was thought to be chrones or diverticular disease although there are signs that I do suffer from both it was not enough for them to remove it but at least I am having treatment now and they will be keeping an eye on my problem

    Just thought I'd let you know I have been to my GP and he insists that it's muscle cramp or pulled muscle

    Because all my blood tests where normal all organs function normal. I'm still in constant pain. And do think it's Tension related I'm just finding it strange how nobody else can relate to this with anxiety I do suffer with bad

    Anxiety so maybe it's just another nasty symptom because when all this started I couldn't relax at all so I

    could of strained a muscle in my abdomen but it would of healed by now rite? I'm just beginning to accept it

    Now I hope CBT will help. Please anybody that can relate to these stomach and muscle tension comments

    Would be so helpful x

    Hi,

    I experienced this, my let side was swollen and painful and it would go round to my back which felt like my kidneys so went to the doctor and they checked my stomach and said i had ibs!( as the bowel is down to the left) which explained a lot for me as it worsens when im anxious.

    all the best xx

    Hi sinead,

    If u go back to the doctors ask them to check your stomach on the left had side, i went when i was in pain and he could feel my bowel was swollen, once he said it was ibs he gave me medicine for it. I didnt use it because im quite lucky that my ibs isnt too bad but when i am anxious it deffinitly flares up and feels worse/more painful etc. certian food also trigger it and then ill get anxious because i feel ill, its kind of a vicious circle. Hope you can get it sorted if it is ibs smile xxx

    Hi aims,

    I've been to the doctors every week for the past five weeks they must think I'm crazy! I've had the doctor

    check my stomach because I thought I had a serious problem with my kidney everything seemed fine even blood test show up fine so I'm guessing it is IBS going to do research to see if I can change my diet. One

    Female doc said IBS and gave me peppermint casuals that's all the medication I have for it, could u

    Recommend any helpfull medication. I suffer with bad cramping and trapped wind lol.
