abdominal pain at night

[Angsthase]

I've been diagnoses with IBS 5 years ago ( I am now 39) . I am always concerned when symptoms are not typical.
Ab pain at night suppose to be a red flag for something else. I don't have ab pain every night and I also had a nice long break form IBS for the last few month. The pain is in the left lower side and it feels like stool or gas is stuck in this area. Last night the pain was traveling all the way to the groin area (never had this before).
Is there anybody out here with ibs who has sometimes pain at night. I am just soooo nervous about it !

Hernia?

I have something like this once every month or two. It usually starts around 5-6 at night and lasts 8 f***ing hours! lol it hurts so bad, I've come very close to just going to the ER but I've refrained. Normally I pass out from the pain or just fall out from exhaustion and wake up feeling better. Now whenever I feel the pains coming on I take 3 chewable papaya enzyme tablets, a slippery elm losenge and 5 of these little calcium things I got for indigestion.

 I feel the pain all the way through my upper body. It's even traveled into my shoulders and I thought I has having a heart attack. Could be gas. Doc said he thinks its GERD but its never been determined 100% what it is. I still have it and let me tell you it is just great for someone with health anxiety : )
