    hi there i think your arm is probably hurting because of your stress and anxiety because your under alot of tension at the moment i am sorry to hear what has happened there is some horrible people out there unfortunatly and the pain in your belly sounds like what i have when my ibs flares up try getting some over the counter meds called colpermin there just a peppermint tablet which helps relax your bowles its not like a laxitive where it will make you need to go to the loo quickly its just a gentle rememdy that will get rid of your pain and the noises in your stomach and the feeing that your gettin at the bottom of your stomach sounds like yor stool is trying to pass through which is also i symptoms of ibs it can cause trapped wind which is why your stomach is making funny noises and causeing you the pain the colpermin works quickly in reliving trapped wind and intergestion my pain gets that bad in my upper tummy somtimes that i have to lay down these are the symptoms of ibs 

    diarreha 

    constipation

    make you feel sick 

    bloating 

    pain in upper tummy (intergestion)

    knoting in stomach 

    painful spasams 

    try the colpermin tablets i think you they may help you, you can get these from your local pharmacy for no more than 6 quid and also ibs can flare up and cause alot more problems when your stressed an anxious i hope this has been of some help and hope your feel better soon

      Hi Shelby besides my stress/anxiety & depression I have a list of symptoms but I've been so scared cause the pain in my stomache.. I've suffered from abnormal bowels for awhile now but the last year my life has been extremely stressful.. Was suppose to have a colonoscopy but didn't & now no insurance at the moment.. I get a sharp pain on the upper left side right about belly & also my ribs feel sore sometimes & it feels like something tightens up.. No blood in stools that I know of but sometimes mucous.. On top of all the other symptoms.. Do you have any advice as to what foods to stay away from & how did you get diagnosed with IBS? Colonoscopy?

      i was diagnosed with ibs when she did an examination she layed me down on my back and pushed on the top on my upper tummy and said does it hurt and i said yes and she said i may have ibs i tryed colpermin and it helped me and also white mucus in your stool is also another symptoms of ibs it is your natural lubricant in your bowels and we probably have more of it because are bowels are trying harder to get rid of the stools and foods that set me off are things like potato pasta and bread they really bloat me out especailly bread and pasta not always but potato gives me diahrea which is unplesent

      & pains? Do you get sharp pains? I feel like I should've got a colonoscopy BUT then I think ok.. I've had abnormal bowels for years & lately even with being misdiagnosed it all brought more anxiety which led to more stress which then tells me it's all because of the stress.. I have so many symptoms but the pain isn't constant.. I get it and it hurts ugly but goes away.. I get a sharp pain right above my belly to the left & in my ribs (Both sides) they checked my gallbladder, liver, blood tests ect but that was almost two years ago.. I don't take meds because I figured I'd see a therapists first as soon as I get insurance .. Do you get pain ?

      yes i get really bad pain in my upper stomach i have to lay down its that bad sometimesnbecause of the trapped wind do you find your belly is worse when you have just eaten? and these colpermin tablets arent a perscribed drug so its just like taking paracetomol or something its only peppermint oil that is inside the capsules so they wont do you any harm and therapy may help with your anxiety and anxiety can make your ibs worse but when the anxiety has gone your still have ibs its not something you can get rid of you have to live with it thats why you need the meds to help you, you can get them from your local pharmacy

      I think they have peppermint oils too to rub on your belly or just put in water.. Thanks for the help! It helps so much talking to people who are going through it! I got diagosed by one doctor but then the gastro de told me the only way to know if it's ibs is through a colonoscopy .. I figured as how long I've had abnormal bowels if it was something bad I would've been wayyyy worse.. But thanks

      exactly if it was something serious like a terminal illness you would of felt alot worse and had other symptoms by now and go to your doctor and ask for a colonoscopy just to put your mind at rest smile sometimes you have to tell them what you want rather than wait for them to offer it for you hope you feel better soon
