    Hello,

    To me that sounds like a gallbladder attack. I have experienced them and had my gallbladder removed.

    That sounds like a flare up however most of the time my pain is in my lower left side.

    I have terrible lower left abdomen pain. Have had Diverticulitis. Talked to Dr today. Since I have no fever or other symptoms  he’s just putting me on a muscle relaxant  Robinol. With 2 tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia at night. Wow I hope he’s right. This is  a second opinion. Am constipated hence the Milk of Magnesia.

      Try digestive enzymes after each big meal of day and miralax every night. Better than Mom .
