Focus of pain
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hey, I'm pretty new to this IBS thing. I'm still not 100% certain that I have it as I have not yet ruled everything else out, so I was wondering how people who have it feel their pain and discomfort. For me, sometimes it's more in the stomach area, and other times it's in the abdominal region, or the back on very rare occasions. Does anybody else sort of switch back and forth between main focuses of pain/discomfort?

I have not been formally diagnosed, no. But almost all my symptoms line up and I've had all of them for upwards of four months, so it seems the most logical conclusion. I've had a lot of tests that have come back normal so I can rule out a lot of more serious issues, and at the end of the month I'll have a solid diagnosis if all goes well. It's definitely been an anxiety-inducing process but hopefully it'll get better soon, because my anxiety does definitely make my symptoms worse.

Yes, I do. I am having a severe attack since Thursday night. I woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache and the urge to have a movement. Then I had abdominal pain and my bowel movements were slight so I am in constipation mode. Along with this, I have very sudden dry heaves. I do suffer with stomach aches that feel like someone punched me out. It's a horrible condition to deal with. And to add, this really all affects my back so in addition, I have terrible back pain.
