Is this PI-IBS or something worse?

Tested positive for C diff toxin B pcr on May 26th, 2018, i believe that it is due to penicillin intake from having a strep throat but i'm not exactly sure how i got c diff. I been having alotta diarrhea for a couple of months prior to my diagnosis on May 26th (never been checked if I had IBS or even knew what it was at that time) so i dont really know I just didn't wanna get checked because I was in denial. Started taking a 14-day 4x a day 125mg dose of Vancomycin on May 27th and finish last dose on June 11th. On June 14th, my dr decided to stool test me because i was complaining to her of certain symptoms after finishing my last dose. Obviously i tested negative (i know it was too early to test from the last dose so it could be a false negative). Anyways I was only taking Culturelle probiotics 1 pill a day from May 27th until my last of the 30-pill package on June 24th and I havent taken any probiotics or any type of meds ever since.
I know its a long intro to my situation but anyways my main question is, for the past 2 weeks i been going only once a day to make a BM before breakfast and there was times where after i wipe, my tp has B on it but not on my stool. Sometimes its loose stool sometimes they're more solid. I don't know if it is constipation or hemorrhoids or because of what I eat or PI-IBS but i experience a lot of rectal pressure all throughout the day almost everyday for 4 weeks sometimes my tailbone hurts and have the urge to make a BM but only gas is the one that passes so basically I really only pass stool in the morning before breakfast once a day and its rare for me to BM in the afternoon ever since my last dose of Vanco. I really hope this is just part of recovery. The past 4 days i feel some tenderness and pressure also around my left testicle area/inner thigh but its not a constant feeling its more like soreness. I am just wondering if anybody here ever experience these post treatment or anyone have insight on what this could be? Is it possible to have a relapse with constipation? I haven't talk to my dr since June 13th mainly because im so health anxious that whenever i complain to her i feel like she brushes me off. I'm always thinking of the worse case scenario i.e. Cancer and other stuff. By the way, I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder too.
Any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
