Stomach pain and change in bowel movement

Hello everyone, am new to the group and firstly I want to apologise for uploading the pictures. I have been suffering with stomach pain in my lower right stomach now for a good few months. It's a pain that I can only describe as a dull ache, stabbing pain at times. I've now noticed my bowel movements have changed over the last month and its got me very anxious and nervous. I've gone from having solid bowel movements till having very smelly mushy ones with trice a day. Could this be linked to my stomach pain ?? Ive gone the doctors and my bloods were OK and I've also sent stool samples which am waiting for the results from. After goggleing my symptoms it pointed towards maybe IBS . Any help or advise would be great as it's driving my crazy

Best to wait for the results of your stool samples to come back first. If you are diagnosed with IBS (and statistically this is more likely, but you need to know for sure), please check back in here again since there is much that can be done to help your symptoms, though best not to assume and go down a certain road just yet.
