Stomach pain diagnosed. It was IBS

I joined this forum in the spring because no doctor could diagnose my stomach pain and I hoped I could get some advice/ideas here on what I should ask my doctor.  Eventually, after a number of tests, panic, anxiety and despair I was diagnosed with IBS in mid May after seeing eight doctors. It took three months to find this out.

    My pain is generalised right across my whole stomach.  But sometimes the pain moves about.  There are times when I feel it on my left side or my right more.  Sometimes it radiates to my ribs or my back.  I even can get sore joints with it.
