Sorry, this is a bit of an essay/rant...Earlier this year I was put on a 8 week course of 2 different antibiotics and an infection (not gi infection) and also was on Ibroprofen for about 3/4 weeks also each day with the antibiotics..... Finished these around the beginning/mid May.. Then gradually I started getting these pains in my tummy, started with pain on the left lower side, short sharp pain.. Based on this I was sent for an abdominal untrasound, which came back normal. Then by the time of seeing my GP again after this I was still getting pains, now I was feeling them anywhere from my ribs down to my hip, all on my left side. Pain can be described as, achey, tingley, burning and sometimes crampy ish. The pain can be on the front, right on my side and also in my back. To start with this was every single day, at the time I had a full blood test done (July I think), all came back normal. Doc suggested IBS and to see how I got on... Well as time passed I started to get some good days, where I had little or no pain. At the beginning of Sept I went on a 10 day holiday and can say I really did not have any probs, maybe the odd ache for a couple of mins but that was pretty much it.... So got back from that feeling great, particually as I get engaged while away. But then out of the blue I woke up one day with a nasty rash, by the end of the day I was covered and fance was a little puffy. After a late night out of hours visit and trip to my GP the next day I was given some really strong antihistimines, this cleard it up within a few days. Took the pills for 5 days in total. But come the end of this period I started with the pains etc again, a few days of pain, the odd day without and so on. So went back to the docs prob the mid/end of Oct.. He said he was also thinking IBS and said to take some Buscopan when in pain. I did this a few times and am unsure if it helped or not... But again as time went on I was having some good times and some not so good... So went back last Thursday, was given a prescription of mebeverine and also asked to do a stool test, called for results today and all were ok. To be honest up until yesterday I was feeling great, had a nice weekend and little if no pain really. But yesterday I got the odd session of pain, and again today I had a spell this morning where I had the pain for about an hour I guess and for the last 30mins or so it has come back... Also I have noticed since taking the mebeverine I see to be having less bms.. normally i was pretty much sure to have 3/4 a day, but since friday perhpas 2/3, not a massive change I know but nonetheless..... Typically I have a bm within an hour or so of being up, soft/bitty/oddly formed etc...So, really I am just putting this out there as mood has dipped today based on the pain after feeling good. I do worry about what it may be etc.. I am 28, male with no family history of anything, other than my dad having some ibs issues...Oh also I had a few days on a couple of occasions where my tummy felt all over sore and churney... Felt like I needed to loo all day!!So really it is the pain that is a PAIN!!!!!!!!! hate it...Any thoughts or anyone relate to this?Thanks,
