Sacroiliac joint: Right sided pain with IBS suggests unilateral sacroiliac joint (SIJ) disorder; both associated w. Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. Constant aching "side" discomfort more likely associated w. chronic soft tissue disorder than w. spastic bowel, which generates crampy intermittent pain. Parasympathetic (PS) nerves overlie SIJ. SIJ hypermobity w. PS stimulation begets intestinal evacuation.
