Someone help, I was told I have a spastic colon (ibs) are these normal symptoms?

So about 3 months ago I ended up getting a random sharp pain in my lower left abdomen, didn’t think anything of it until later that night I went out for a birthday party and ended up having a really upset stomach and diarrhea. Symptoms persisted so I went and seen my GP and was told just a stomach bug, had a follow up with no changes so I got blood work, urine, and stool tests done everything came back good. Symptoms getting worse as the weeks went by, I had persistent pain in my lower left abdomen, slight change in stool so I went to the emergency room and had a CT scan done, blood work again, and X-rays with all results coming back clear. They didn’t find anything wrong with me but suggested I go see a GI doctor. Scheduled an appt and the first thing doctor told me is I have ibs and prescribed me bentyl, with my symptoms not getting any better and having trouble sleeping at night now because the pain would wake me up in the middle of the night I went and seen another GI, had an colonoscopy done and it came back clear. He took tissue sample for biopsy but haven’t gotten the results back. He diagnosed me with a spastic colon, told me to keep taking the bentyl because it will help. I feel pretty good during the day but it’s at night where my symptoms get worse, I wake up in the middle of the night with this pain in my lower left abdomen, it’s like someone is squeezing my colon or as if I have a knot there that isn’t relieved no matter what I do. Can anyone relate to this?

Right now I’m not having any bowel troubles, just the pain.
