Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
I will advise to get examined personally by a doctor before saying that it is IBS. The pain you are describing appears to be of renal origin. So you need urine examination and at least ultrasound abdomen to see for kidney and ureter.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
