Hi you all my husband has been having constant  pain in his lower abdomen to the left very tender on touch.
We went to our family md ran some test thought he had diverticulitis and a renal cyst gave meds did no good.
Went to a gastro today and he went to push in the area of pain and my husband was about to go thru the wall.
He felt a hard spot that he said might be an hernia. Going to another Dr Fri. Can anyone give me any info and has anyone gone thru this. He has lost 7 lbs and nauseau at times but pain is constant. Thanks

It does sound like diverticulitis.  He probably wants to get the hernia checked out to make sure that is not the pain.  What kind of dr is he sending him to?  Also did he give him more meds for the diverticulitius and has he done a colonoscopy?
