Q: is bloating and cramps, abdominal pain,shooting pain down to upper thighs symptomatic of inguinal women's hernia?

I have had ct scans, ultrasounds,colonoscopies,been diagnosed years ago with IBS. For past year have had increasing nausea,pain,cramps, abdominal and back pain shooting down to thighs and buttocks. Could this be an inguinal hernia which is so hard to detect in a woman?

Although this isn't our area of expertise, I did find a link that discusses inguinal hernias. The problem is that your symptoms could be related to so many things such as back injury (shooting pains down the legs), urinary (cramps and abdominal pain), bloating (gastritis, IBS), etc. Additionally, are you taking anything for your IBS? Is it possible that the medication is causing side effects?
