Brief Answer:
IBS is likely.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
You don't require colonoscopy.
If you wish you can go for Upper GI Endoscopy and get blood test done for Celiac Disease that is IgA Anti TTG Antibody.
Meveberine Is the best Medicine for muscular pain related to IBS.
You can also try Chlordiazopoxide that is Normaxin. This is a prescription Medicine, you can ask your doctor for the same.
Get above mentioned test and write to me with report.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
