Thread Name: BS: Diverticulitis
Subject: RE: BS: Diverticulitis
Just diagnosed with diverticulitis a week ago. Dr. said take these antibiotics and that will knock it out (cipro and flagyl for 10 days.) She wanted to do a catscan but knowing my financial situation agreed to try this treatment. A low grade fever and uncomfortable left side is the only thing that sent me to her in the first place.
Pain is left side near waist and above. Also in the back.
Anyone else have the pain there?
And diet. No one really explained a thing. Had a week off but no have to go back tomorrow.
Right now I don't know what to do. I have to work. Like most of us that is not an option. I am sixty two and have a lot of trouble with arthritis in my knees and spine too.

Any ideas will sure be appreciated.
