Any information about a lipoma, or referred lower back pain causing IBS-like symptoms??

After almost four years of being diagnosed with IBS, I am finally getting results.  Gallbladder was removed because it was lazy and had mild chronic inflamation. Nausea has been better, only have it 50% of the time for about 2 - 3 hours, compared to every day for at least 5 hours.  Use to alternate between D and C, now I'm regular 2 BM a day easily.  I have always been leary about my diagnosis, because my symptoms never go away, they get better or worse but never go away.  The pain in my lower left abdomen has been at least the size of a baseball for 3 years, and has never gone away.

Doctor just found a lipoma right at the spot where I always have pain, and she thinks this may be the reason for the pain if it is right next to a nerve, going to get a shot of lidocain to see if that helps.  Just curious if people had heard of this or if they have any information on lipomas causing IBS-like symptoms. 

Same question about lower back pain, only have spasms about 1-2 times a month, doctor thought something causing a nerve issue in the back could be referred to my bowels.  And is more likely then a brain tumer causing increased intercranial pressure, which would result in nausea and poor bowel function.

Tried to keep it short if you have any questions, or need me to clarify ask away. Thanks

My name is Suzi and I too have had some of the issues you have been diagnosed with.. I finally won my Disability took 2 years but Im in the system so in January I start getting a monthly check Jan 23. No idea about back pay.. so and painful process but take it to the judge he makes the decision.. But to my point.. I just had 4Lipomas removed over SI joint and 1 next to my spine... pain in SI better but the nerve damage post op pain is incrediable. Just wondered if you had surgery and your out come. I go back to the surgeon on Dec 28 th so will discuss this issue then,, my surgery was Dec 12th. I live with pain everyday and sometimes its hard to keep going... Im hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel.....and its not a train coming.. lol. Just want to know if you had yours removed and how you are..Suzi

Izzy,
I hope the nerve damage gets better for us both... From what I read it takes time but Jeez wish someone told me about it before surgery lol .. So I could be prepared.. Advise on SSD hearing... Main thing is this.. Talk to the judge like a person. There is no job that they can find you if you have to laydown for certain amount of time threw out the day.. I had an accident sking when I was 14 so I hurt my back. I found out I had scoliousis and at 14 to have a spinal fusion and was in a body cast for 1yr and a 1/2, 8 vertibrae's fused. So for a good 25 years I have been great.. But in 2007 I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and the lower spine is just jacked up..all the wear and tear on the last 5 / I too feel like if I stand over 10 min I feel like Im going to break in 1/2.. tHE LAST 2 1/2 I have been trying to get SSD.. It is entirely up to a judge, its fairly casual and the Judge will ask you questions. Im sure your Attorney will go over the questions..main thing is that you need to lay down..Walking for me is now very hard,,but I try and keep going !! Im only 55 so not ready to just sit down yet..Depression is a given if you are in pain every single day, who want to live this way..I stay busy with things I can do. Dont be dramatic just tell the truth about the meds .pain and certainly the depression. It just take time to get it..I won Oct 30,...still waiting ... But this too shall pass. My husband is retired Military (Navy Master Chief) so my worries finacially are different... He has been very supportive, wish every woman had a husband like mine :) Let me know how it goes with your Dr..stay in touch.. I care, Suzi
