Long history of lower right quadrant pain; now spreading?

[N00B]

I do have a regular physical scheduled, but not for a few months yet (have to schedule them a half year in advance!),  I've never had surgery, and otherwise feel mostly OK.

Quick history of symptoms:
6 years ago, serious fatigue followed by change in bowel habit to ibs-like constipation symptoms.  Pain in lower left side by pelvic bone.  Pain spread to lower right side, but remained confined to the areas above the thigh/pelvic crease and did not include the area above the pelvic bone.  I also suffered a loss of appetite, bouts of nausea and lost 10 lbs.  Several visits to an MD revealed nothing, including a CT scan.  The symptoms mostly cleared up as a few months passed, but the lower right pain came and went intermittently.  Since then I have experienced a progression of symptoms:  Strong itching above the pelvic bone on the waist line that was "inside" and could not be scratched, pressure like a rock/thumb/egg at the pelvic/thigh crease, where the artery is, feeling like it's pushing out(C); warm/cool sensations in the area, shooting pains down the leg(C),  groin pain/right testicle pain, and symptoms that fit IBS like cramping sensations where the colon is.  Intermittent constipation.  Rarely, I would get a serious sharp pain in the lower right area just above the thigh/abdomen crease.  The ones marked (C) pretty much continue to this day, the rest went away after several weeks/months.  The pain varies from almost unnoticeable to borderline moderate.  

Now, I get a burning sensation occasionally right above my pubic bone, and it does hurt to press there, but only briefly, and it feels occasionally like a bubble or two is in there.  Pressing there also can cause pain right between the legs, but not consistently.  

So, at any rate - things appear to be changing, and not for the better.  I'm asking here because every time I go to an MD's office, I feel like I get blown off.  It seems that after I name a few symptoms the reaction is "IBS", nevermind the rest, and some of the symptoms just don't fit:  Itching: can be a sign of adhesions; Burning and pressure: can be a sign of a hernia; Sharp pains: can be a sign of a restriction.  These just don't seem to fit the mold of standard IBS, and the slow movement of the symptoms from right to left makes me wonder of there's a cycle of inflammation and adhesion moving across my lower abdomen.  That, a really bizarre case of IBS, or even cancer.  I won't mention my age simply because I've read too many stories about folks being told "You're to young to worry about that..." and then finding out later they have stage 3 cancer.

Thoughts?

Yes, boron is correct and you do need to see a GI dr.  Get that in the works now instead of waiting since it take so long.

Where are you located that it takes this long.  Is it national health care.  If so, I am afraid this is what we have to look forward to in US.

You are young to have a bowel cancer :) .

Pain moving from the left and right lower abdomen may be from the end and from the starting part of the colon (just near appendix) and is characteristic for Crohn's disease. Diagnosis is with colonoscopy.

Pain on pressuring above your pubic bone may be from the bladder. Bubbles you feel may actually be air bubbles - this can accour when a fistula (a canal) is created between inflammed colon and the bladder. If this is the case you'd probably have burning urination from urinary infection.

But these bubbles and also pain in the right testicle and pressure in the pelvic/thigh crease may also be from intestinal hernia.

I have an idea that your symptoms may mean you have swollen lymph nodes from infection somewhere in the lower body.  The swelling and discomfort you have is located right where those lymphs are.  Infection can also cause the sudden fatigue you had.  Go online and look for an illustration of where lymph nodes are located in the anatomy, and what their swelling means.

Since your docs are no help, go down to the county health clinic as a walk-in, see a doc, and specifically ask for labs to find out how come your lymph nodes are all swolled up there and hurting, and thus to also look for infection, bacteria, virus, and so forth that you may have in your guts, that would cause the lymphs to swell.  If none of these things are the case, and if it's not your lymphs, then they will refer you to a specialist, like a urologist perhaps, to do their specific tests.
