Diverticulitis won't go away with antibiotics

Posted , 4 users are following.

First of i'm a 20 year old male. Last Wednesday night i went to the ER for cramps and constipation, was given a blood test (which didn't show any sign of infection) and a CT scan which showed diverticulitis (which confused me because of the blood test). They didn't admit me so i've been home on antibiotics for 5 days and don't feel better. I went back to the ER a few days ago for now having blood in stool which they then said was a hemmroid but i don't feel any pain when i use the bathroom. They said i'm fine to go home again. But i'm just worried since i'm not feeling better. Any ideas if i should be too worried about cancer or anything like that? I worry a lot when i'm sick.
