;)Hi there, i am wondering if anyone has any symptoms like this. When i go i get numbness in the left leg? I know the normal thing where when you sit too long and such your legs are feet can go numb but this seems different. I am having a colonoscopy done on Tuesday as some know but i am wandering if this could be related some how, and in all reality if it could be causing my back pain ect. It would be a blessing to not have left side pain after treatment!

I think it's nerve pain/issues to do with your back, not going to the bathroom.

I have a lot of pain in my left side/back area. Seems I have a rib out of joint, causing nerve pain.

Colonoscopy found things, but nothing that would help with the pain. Hope all goes well for you.

huckleberrie,
thanks for the post. I do believe you might be right about the rib thing. I am awaiting an appt. with a Rheumy for the arthritis and i also have known for sometime i have a floating rib, and they always said if it got too bad later on they could remove. Not sure if i would do that but, i at least found out it has nothing to do with the colon ect, unless the biopsy comes back positive, but i didn't have any polyps and blood work came back fine, so very confused here as to why so many stomach issues other than could be from ovarian cysts wich i am supposed to go back for if my colonoscopy came back negative. And the only thing i can think of because everything else checks out i have read up on AS and it can very much effect the ribs ect. so anxious to find out about all that!
