Hi so I may or may not have IBS, I'm waiting on tests at the moment, but my doctor thinks it could be.

I've had a 'flare up' of some kind of gastro problem (which has been put down to acid reflux), which does seem to be going now, however I've been left with a pain in my hips, pelvis and lower back. Feels muscular. Also when I wake up in a morning my hips/buttocks are sore and slightly numb? Does this sound like it could be IBS. I do also have PCOS and suffer with irregular periods, I started a period last week so could it be something to do with that?

Any remedies you could recommend for this would be brilliant, had it around a month now, worried about it at the minute.

    Hi Laura, I would get him to do a scan internally and externally at the same time of your ovaries. It's amazing how much pain they can cause and if you are irregular even more so. Mine was causing all the same pain as yours. It can't hurt to do such a scan and there is more of a chance of picking up any possible problem. You will be much happier when you know what it is?

    Dear Laura,

    It sounds more like you have a problem with your ovaries. I had similar pain but not as severe as yours so I would ask your doctor to give you a scan internally and externally at the same time which I had to do to get a result. My ovary was stuck to itself. Good luck 🍀 Maggie
