Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar and can shed some light. I've been having abdominal cramping in my lower left side for a long time now, which I always put down to ovulation pain. It's like a stitch and is very low in my pelvis. It comes and goes. For the past 2 weeks the pain has been a constant dull ache which has now moved to my back, left side just below rib cage. I sometimes get a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen and when I do I have a severe bout of diarrhoea and need to go ASAP. When this sharp pain comes on I get covered head to toe in goosebumps with severe cramping and on one occasion missed the toilet it came on that sudden. Then I can go a period of a week of not going to the toilet. I've been to gp and my bloods came back fine. There was protein in my urine and he now wants a stool sample. He has suggested IBS which I do have some symptoms of. Has anyone had anything similar?? My back is still so sore after 2 weeks and nothing is easing it. It seems a lot for just IBS.
