Need help/advice- i've had on and off stabbing pains in my lower left stomach and occasionally opposing back area for two plus years now. Ultrasound, CT scan, colonoscopy (twice), full blood panel, have left my doctor "speculating" diverticulitis and my gastroenterologist "speculating" IBS. Absolutely no problems with bowel movements. Neither doctor can pin point a specific problem. I've been on 40 g daily dose of lovestatin for high cholesterol and am concerned that this may be a contributing factor. Doctor says no when I've asked if possible. The pain continues on a daily basis and I've decided to give an accupuncturist a try as nothing else has provided relief. Any advice?
