Thread Name: BS: Diverticulitis
Subject: RE: BS: Diverticulitis
Hi all, I am 33 years old. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis yesterday because of abdominal pain. I was given two different antibiotics to take. About 24 hours has passed since first taking them, but there has been no improvement. I'm curious how long it takes for the pain to go away. Now, I'm not in excruciating pain. it is just an irritating pain mostly when I move, cough, etc. Any pressure on the lower left abdomen hurts a lot. But generally while i'm laying still there is no pain. So I'm not sure how severe my case may be compared to others I've read about here. The doctor wanted me to return in two days to re-evaluate so I was hoping to be cured by then. Not sure when I'll be returning to work.
