Brief Answer:
Get an ultrasound abomen

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. It appears to be colicky pain as it comes and disappear. It can be intestinal colic, or renal colic. More likely to be intestinal colic. I will suggest you to get an ultrasound abdomen to see for the cause.

Meanwhile since the chlordiaz (chlordiazepoxide) hasn't helped, I would suggest take antispasmodic agent like drotavarine. It should relieve you from this ache. I will also advise to take some antianxiety medicine like clonazepam at night time to keep you cool.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health. If you have further query I will like to answer that too.

I went to another doctor and says it's not ibs my dull shooting pains are on right side and left side lower and upper abdomen. But they are dull, he says that it's due to stress and nerves in my abdomen. Because they do not make me go to the bathroom it's just poking pain blood tests fine
