Ibs

I am like you I have had IBS for years. I have, during the last twelve months, gone through times when I have had a real ache on the left hand side that goes through to the back, and across, lasts probably about a week, after a bad bout of IBS. It doesn't feel at all like pain from IBS. Dr explained that the colon is a muscle and becomes inflamed with "over use" and age is relative to this.

Mine always settles down and I haven't had it for a while. With me the secret is to keep on top of the IBS before it gets out of control (if that makes sense). I take medication for the IBS every morning and it helps.

Hope you have some help with this and start to feel better.

I don't know where you live but there is a very good therapist based in Gloucester who will diagnose exactly what is wrong with you and treat it. If you PM me, I will give you the details.
