Stomach pains

[Bigbrother-8]

Have right side pain lower going around my back,doctor has ordered CRP blood test,having bowel movements 2/3 times a day but feel there is something there and still need to go,is it possible I could be constipated,pain just seems constant, paracetamol doesn't help.😞

This is also where my pain is and has been without either constipation or diarrhoea for many years. Has now changed since covid infection in September to ibsd. I think it’s trapped wind, can be quite painful or a constant nagging ache. Gets you down though doesn’t it.

Covid definitely did I number on me with IBS, it was pretty well controlled before that, oh and vaccines . Not having any more of those if you paid me.

Good you are seeing your doctor and having tests.

sorry that you are going through this. It might be diverticular disease, one of the symptoms is pain on the left side, but sometimes it’s on the right. I have it on the right side. It would need a colonoscopy to confirm though.

I thought the same thing. My pain was on the right, in back. I ended up with diverticulitis and almost died from it, so not something to ignore. Yes, a colonoscopy seems to be in order.

Great that you are having tests. No point in speculating until your results come back, so you know what treatment to proceed with. If you are diagnosed with IBS, check back here since there is much that can be done to help. Good luck.
