I'm a 35 year old female and last year I stared getting this pain on my left lower side.

I booked appointment with my gp and she said my smear was over due so had that done at the end of november i got a call from my surgery to say I had to go to the hospital for a gyno appointment my smear was abnormal.

Anyway 2 ops later they had got rid of the cells iam now waiting for a hysterectomy but now I have anxiety realy bad every day I think I have cancer I have been to the doctors and he's saying I have IBS. I have stomach pain mostly upper left lower left for 7 months.

Altered bowel movments quite loosed but i still have this pain I had last year low down in the left iam waiting to see a doctor (gast)in october and the gurling is quite bad and realy bad on a morning I have acid and heartburn I have never felt like this in my life I have lost my job from having time off and I am at my wits end I don't know what to eat to be right and how can this IBS just come on like this I have never suffered before till now.
