IBS, PCOS: I commend you for your losing 70lbs, thus decreasing risk of Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) complications. “bad pain in left side that intensifies prior to a bowel movement” is likely due to Irritable Bowel syndrome(IBS) Stress Anxiety, Depression ,Hormones and Gastroenteritis can aggravate symptoms of IBS. See Gastroenterologist. See Gynecologist for PCOS. See Psychiatrist for Therapy.
