Hernia Pain

I suffer with diverticula, I had flair in January and since then I’ve have been in constant pain in my lower left side, sometimes it is mild and sometimes it is really bad and moves about from back to front. I have been to see my doctor regarding this pain. My Doctor says a diverticula pain should not last that long and examined me and thinks I have a Hernia. I had mild pain before being examined but after examination I was in severe pain all that day. Can anyone tell me who HAS or HAD a hernia in lower left side if they have had symptoms or  pains like theses? Really painful today lower left side and at the moment it has moved to my left side of my back and it gets worse when moving around or walking. I don’t feel ill just in really bad pain and I don't think  it's a diverticular flair starting can any help with theses symptoms

    I too thought my hernia was something else prior to diagnoses.  I could make most of the pain go away by applying pressure to the area.  Did your doctor refer you to a surgeon?  My primary doctor determined it was definitely and I met with a surgeon two days later.  After the surgeon examined me my pain was greater because he aggressively was confirming that it was a hernia.  It would seem your doctor could be more definitive and refer you.

      Thanks Gregg, my Doc has made me an appointment at the hospital on 4th May for a scan. Please can you tell me your symptoms did the pain move about from front to your back and get worse when your walking.

      My pain was localized and did not move from front to back.  I could actually feel a small bulge.  I could relieve the pain by pressing on the bulge.

      Good luck with the scan.  Let me know if you have other questions.
