I was in the Er with really bad pain around Christmas time. they said I had diverticulitis. I have had pain on and off since then. I went through the treatment but not sure if it worked. Well about 2 hours ago I started getting really bad sharp pains in my left side of the colon. It hurts worse when I walk or lay a certain way. The pain has gotten worse since it started. I am not sure what to do. I don't have to have a BM and I don't think it is gas. But I am not sure it is diverticulitis either. I have felt sick to my stomach 3 times today, to the point I just wanted to sit. I keep getting dizzy also. Could this be from diverticulitis? Any advice would be great. The bad thing is my daughters 9th birthday party is tomorrow and I need to be 100% for it.
Thanks

any pain that gets worse or makes you vomit needs to checked by a doctor immediately.
