i wondered if it was normal with diverticulitis to have really bad pain in the lower right hand side. i have been really bad this last week i could hardly walk with the pain. my doctor said it only goes on the left side, but im sure ive read it can flare up on the right but is very rare. he said it was a grumbling appendix, but he still put me back on all my tablets, anti in flammatry and antibiotics, the pain has eased now. although is still tender to touch. i have to have my colonoscopy on the 11th december. the last one i had was 6 months ago and they couldnt sedate me so gave up. any advice would be appreciated. thanks
