Pinching pain

[Sweepy13]

Here I am again...

I had an abdominal CT 20 months ago all fabulous and clear but lately I have developed a pinching pain in my upper left side and feel tired does anyone else understand that sharp nipping feeling when the have ibs flare up

Sorry 😐 I’m just driving myself to distraction

I had IBS when I was young but now I’m 54 and happiest I could ever be I don’t understand why !?

Hope someone has had similar 😳

I am betting it's not serious, but if you are really worried, ask your gastro. You can also wait a bit to see if it goes away. x

Is it like under your lowest rib, to the left? I get that a lot when I’m constipated. My GP isn’t worried about it. It comes for a few days and then goes away for a bit. I think it’s hard poop trying to turn the “corner” of the gut, if that makes sense! X

Perfect sense and actually seems to fit with how I’ve been lately .... IBS is clever plays with you mind ummm or is it the other way round 🙈

Thanks x

I believe I know what you are talking about, only mine is on the right side. Speaking of IBS playing with your mind, YES!

After two years I thought I would come back and read some posts as I’m in a flare up... came across your reply 😊thank you it’s just reassured me again

It’s nice to hear from you 😊. I’m really sorry you’re in a flare-up though. Its understandable given the current circumstances! Is it the same pain again? Xx

[Sweepy13 in reply to weegmack]

Yes I get panicked everytime but I have to be honest it seems to be made worse by constipation, I’m going to keep an eye on it now I have had normal BM and see if it settles, I don’t think the current situation helps anyone does it... hope you are keeping well 😊

IBS is a real mind game. Just when you think you have a handle on the condition it switches and behaves in a completely different way. It is hard to get your head round it and that really does not help with the whole anxiety issues around toileting. Sorry to say that I have not really found anything that works. I am currently about to move house and my IBS has gone completely haywire as if I don't have enough to cope with. Good luck with your condition I really feel for you.
