Q: Left Sided Pain...

For about 2 months I have this achey & sometimes stabbing pain on my front left side (about 3 inches above my ovary, to the left of my rib cage). I have suffered from ibs since I was little but never had this type of pain until recently. Thinking it was diverticulitis my doctor put me on antibiotics and now the pain is worse! Sad

I am 25 years old and my doctor now wants me to get a colonoscopy. I am freaking out about what it could be. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas about what I am facing?
