issues. Just after Christmas, I started feeling discomfort in my lower left abdominal quadrant that turned into dull on-and-off pain, and then constant pain. I wouldn't call it intense, but it definitely was always there. I had no fever
where I was having pain. My doctor then prescribed me antibiotics commonly prescribed for diverticulitis to be taken for 10 days.
I finished up the 10th day last Friday. The pain had somewhat subsided around day 6 of treatment but never went away. The next couple of days after I stopped taking the antibiotics, the pain returned. It is not as intense as before, but it is still there.
Does this sound like it is in fact diverticulitis? I am having some doubts but I don't really want to get a CT scan, which my doctor thinks is my next option. I will be going to a different doctor for a second opinion, but I just wanted to see if anyone else here has had diverticulitis with no other symptoms besides pain, or if anyone has an idea if this may be something else.
