Hey guys...I'm back.
I've been pretty much incapacitated by pain for a couple of weeks. My doctor said that she's done everything she can, and the only other step would be to refer me to a specialist, but she doesn't think it would make a big difference and I can't afford it.Anyway, I'm getting new symptoms left and right since this last major flare-up.For the last couple of days, I've had constant gnawing pain on my left side, radiating to my back. It keeps me from eating or sleeping or even functioning.I'm finally pooping normally (after tons and tons of laxatives), but, when I do poop, the left side pain becomes extremely sharp. I've heard a few IBSers mention pain before or after a BM, but what about during?I'm still not over my colon cancer phobia. It doesn't help that I met someone earlier this week who had it at 28, and was initially misdiagnosed with IBS...
