Pain in left ribs

[lilcee]

I've been having sharp pains in my left ribs. Sometimes it feels like there is something behind my ribs or under them. They hurt when I press on them. I also get pains down into my left hip area. My chiropractor said it's  from straining or lifting something wrong. A sprain of my ribs and it will take awhile to heal. Sometimes it hurts when I take a deep breath or sneeze and sometimes it will hurt on the right side too but not as bad as the left side.
What I was wondering is if I should see a Dr. Five years ago I was diognosed with Diverticulosis. I don't have any bloody stools or fever or anything like that. Sometimes I get cramps or get a little constipated but I drink Alo Vera juice and that helps with the constipation. What I want to know is does the pain sound like it's related to the Diverticulosis or the ribs?
Thanks for any help.

I've had a friend who had sort of the same symptoms..she doesn't remember every bumping into anything on her left side but it turned out her spleen was enlarged and had to be removed (not to freak you out)

ORRrr could be diverticuli just acting up again.  I'd maybe go in to a dr. and ask for advice but they might suggest a ct scan or xray. Good luck!
