Is Levator Syndrome A Symptom Of IBS?

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Eastern Oregon

I have had IBS-C my whole life ( 56 yrs), in the past year I've started having symptoms of Levator Syndrome??. Last week I had a severe episode except the pain spread across my lower abdomen and up my left side and radiated to my back. The pain lasted for 3 days and finally by like the 5th day i could sit on a chair again without the pain shooting through my intestines. Is this common for IBS?

Hi Teri. I would get an MRI. Check your stool sample and blood for EPI. TO see if your pancreas is breaking down your food with enough enzymes. Do u have a GB? Or fatty liver? Pale poop? I get stabbing pains in my large intestine due to having no GB. I don't know your weight but obese people frequently have EPI.
