Pain strickin in Pontiac...
by downtym73, Feb 08, 2009 09:10AM
Im,35 years old and was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis.But my pain was in the lower right side,all over really but mainly the lower right side of my abdomen.So first, is my age a reason to be concerned,from my understanding only about 10% of people over 40 have this problem.And does the location of my pain warrant any concern?

You should be questioning the diagnosis based on how it was made. If either a colonoscopy or lower barium study showed numerous pouches, then the diagnosis is probably correct and you should take steps to tamp down the inflammatory process and change your diet.
However, right-sided pain may be associated with diverticular problems, which is a bit different from diverticulitis. A diverticulum is a single 'finger-like' projection. But they can also cause problems. Make sure to clarify which form you have and what you should do to help control the situation.
