Pain in left groin & gas- ibs related?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago & have always had the more common symptoms like bloating, food sensitivity, tummy pain etc…

However I’ve recently developed some worrying symptoms & I’m struggling to find a gp as I’m new to the area.

Last week I was on my period & randomly got a pain across my lower back & down the top of both my legs making it painful to stand or walk for long periods but I was fine if sat down or laying down. Also very bloated.

I assumed it was connected to my period but once my period ended - the leg & back pain subsided but I’m now left with a pain in my left groin - that randomly moves to the left side of my hip but mainly is a dull ache in my left groin.

I’m also experiencing gas in my lower groin- whereby I can hear it bubble & am still bloated.

It’s worse in the morning when I wake up & once I’ve pooed it eases off a bit. Poop is soft (always has been).

I also have ovarian cysts that come & go so I was wondering if it was cyst related or ibs related?

Other than that I’m fine in myself, I have an appetite, no fever etc…

Anyone else experience this with ibs?
