I have had the pain and cramping from the colon spasming, etc. but have you ever had the area "outside" hurt to the touch? I have a friend that said that she cannot put any pressure on the lower left side... I am wondering if there is more going on than meets the eye. She had a pelvic exam, ultrasound, blood work and all came back fine. They have her on an antibiotic but is not making a different. What are your thoughts?

Many IBS-ers have pain in their lower, left ab area. What do you mean by "outside"?

I was having the same problem. This is something I am just going through right now and (sorry) am so happy to see someone else with the same thing. I have had some tests done and was diagnosed with diverticulitis(they did a barium enema to find it). If you go to webmd they give a good explanation of what it is. They were very surprised to find it in someone my age (35) but one of the causes is long term constipation which I have had with my IBS. Please let me know what you find because I am having a very hard time with it. Good luck!
