Chronic abdominal discomfort

Anybody have an opinion on what this could be? Shortly after wrestling/picking up our dog, DH began to experience discomfort in his groin. After a few days he went to the doctor, who felt it was a groin muscle pull. Weeks went by with no improvement, in fact now he began to have burning pains and discomfort in various spots throughout his abdomen. Went back to the doctor. Blood tests reveal billirubin levels are slightly elevated. A CT scan shows thickening in the sigmoid colon, where he was found to have diverticuli 3 years ago. He has no other symptoms, no bowel problems, no upset stomach, no jaundice. Discomfort comes and goes. He goes for a colonoscopy in 2 weeks. He doesn't think it's the diverticuli causing the problems since the pain is in various places. Any ideas?

Wow, it could really be anything or a combination of things.
