Hello, i am officially diagnosed with IBS and doctors think its in my head.... But the pain is for real. I have been with ibs for almost three years and had numerous test on which last year had a colonoscopy for putting the label of IBS C.

Does anyone have right sided abdominal pain, i have been having it only on right side for the past 3 months now ...constant pain ... Its under the right ribs , below the ribs , more over towards the side of flank or the front side of right flank and the back side of flank which is called the lower back in short the right side is effected..... The pain is some times pressure , achy , pointed , heaviness. This is driving me crazy.... I had recently all the blood workup , complete two abdominal ultrasounds.... Which only mentioned excessive gases ..Sometimes i have gwaning pain in the center of abdomen i.e. stomach...and if i have the bowel moment the right side pain is more rather the it should decrease.


Please does anyone have this type of symptom in IBS ...anyone ...pleaseeeeeeeeee....do we have this in IBS...

I get right sided pain if my bowel is full of stool. When I have the urge to move my bowels sometimes I feel spasms (sharp pains) in my right side. It is weird but not a disease concern.

I have been using psyllium for a couple of years now to keep my bowel movements more regular. Sometimes I take citrucel if I'm falling too far behind and the right side pain reappears.

My daughter has a constant pulling sensation. Not necessarily very painful. Gas can be very painful and travels. Also it could be some sort of referred pain. Have you tried any anti-inflammatory meds to see if the pain is relieved. My daughter took mobic 7.5 g and had some relief after about 2 weeks. But if your pain is associated with gas, do you get any relief with taking something like gas x? I hope that you can get some help.

If you have put up with it for this long ... and your doctor DID diagnose you with IBS and STILL tells you 'its in your head'... I think its time to see another doctor. Seriously! You deserve better support and at least an attempt at some kind of answer.
What Kazbern says is right... its not unusual to have pain in that area...but you should not be having a continuous pain.
You deserve some better support. I hope you can see another doctor... Good luck to you.
Also...just a suggestion...maybe keep a food diary and see if you can see a sort of pattern.
