[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1801061, member: 196992"] I think you might be onto something here. I have had IBS for decades and at times I've had pain like the OP's. In my case, the pain was coming from the bowel, which does sit quite high in the abdomen at each side. Sometimes my lower ribs on one side are sore and I'm pretty sure it's referred pain from the bowel. Bowel pain is very easily referred to other areas, making diagnosis even harder. It can literally refer to the opposite side of the abdomen, or even into the upper back, chest, or one or both legs. The first thing a doctor usually asks if he or she thinks it might be IBS is what your bowel habits are like. There are several different types of IBS, too. Ideally, I think an upper and lower endoscopy should be offered, to rule out other problems. There are other less invasive tests they can do too, such as x-rays and ultrasound. [/QUOTE]
