I am worried

I am 62 and in the past I have had diverticulitis. For the past week I have been to my gp as it seems to have returned. However this time after a week of antibiotics and pain killers every 3 to four hours pain in my lower abdomen and back is quite severe. Constantly going to the loo and I am drained. My doctor seems not bothered. I am worried 

  • Hi there - your symptoms do sound unpleasant & I can understand why you feel worried. I can't offer any medical advice whatsoever but might it be worth going back to your GP? At least s/he might offer you some reassurance or another course of treatment.

    All the best to you.
