my doctor has just diagnosed me with ibs after a long period of tests and ruling things out so I do feel confident that she did not miss anything. however, after looking at this site and reading comments on the board i am confused about my diagnosis! while i suffer from all of the other symptoms of ibs mentioned here, i rarely have crippling abdominal pain. my pain has been almost entirely in my lower back in what feels to be my rectum/that general area. if i have my pain here and not in my abdomen does this mean that perhaps the doctor was wrong and i do not in fact have ibs? do other people with ibs experience pain here?
