I get discomfort after using my bowels in the morning and it lasts all day aching on and off (mostly on).I can feel I am absolutely going to burst and desperate to get to a toilet but nothing happens! I just ache. Sometimes worse than others but this last bowt has lasted six months and I've done everything, the exercise, the fibre, fluids, the mebeverine, spasmanol - I'm just so sick of aching all day.

Hi fellow sufferer.Diverticular disease can have similar symptoms. It depends where you get your pain. In my experience (I have it as well as IBS) Diverticular pain is more often felt toward the end of the descending colon which is on your left side about level with your appendix. If your pain is more in the centre, a few inches above the groin... welcome to the club.Adrian.
