Hi, could someone please offer there opinion,I have suffered IBS and diverticular disease for almost 20yrs,I have lower left abdominal pain most days,sometimes severe with vomiting ,but 3 days ago i developed pain down the left side of my body that's goes across about 6" towards my belly, this started like stitch pain and now is mainly painful when I press around that area,eating doesn't seem to affect it,I'm worried incase this could be the start of pancreatitis or if maybe ive just strained myself whilst gardening?
Thanks for reading.

I'd suggest you take yourself off to the GP to get yourself checked out, may just be a muscular issue but with your other pre-existing conditions I would go and check. I am not a doctor or any sort of medic but from experience I just don't 'guess' at diagnosis anymore and docs are the best folks to ask.
Hi, I agree with Katie, but having had pancreatitis twice, I can say it is the worst pain I have ever encountered. The pain is just bellow breast bone, and is a fiery stabbing through to the back. It takes your breath away, and doesn't come and go, like labour pain or IBS, its constant.
So I would hope this isn't pancreatitis. I hope you get it sorted and feel better soon. X x
