I am having pain on my left side under my rib. I feel like I have gas I cannot pass. My back is hurting. I have been diagosed with IBS but I feel like this is something more. This has been going on for 2 years and this last month it has gotten worse. My stools come out in small pieces and I just cant take it anymore! Please any answers would help.Thank you!!
Welcome to Chat Doctor Good Earthier must be ongoing bowel inflammation which is causing the pain on the left side. You need to rule out Pancreatitis because such condition pain radiates to the back as well. Does the pain increase when you lie back and relieve when you bend forward. Do you consume alcohol? Regarding the feeling of gas in the abdomen, you must try eating bland food for a while. It must not be very hot.  Chat Doctor.  You must see your Doctor and ask for an Ultrasound to look for any damage to Pancreas and get other required tests done as necessary. Kindly keep me posted.
