Last night i had the onset of some very uncomfortable pain, which kept me awake during the night, this morning it was unbearable, and i was beside myself, i nearly went to the hospital last night, but opted for the medical centre this morning.

Anyhow she thinks i have a inflamed large bowel, diverticulitis,and a UTI,lucky me, i knew something was up and i feared worse, i had never experienced this before, i have IBS, but this was not like that at all, much worse really.Funny thing i started off with having a very sore hip, thought it was arthritis, and it may still well be that, once i felt the lower abdomen pain,it overtook the hip pain and i could not feel it anymore,is this typical, or am i dealing with another issue here?

I know this is not uncommon, so wondering if any of you suffer from it, what you do for it etc.

Funny thing is i read a low fibre diet can contribute, i have a rather high fibre diet, so i am puzzled here really,let us hope her diagnosis is correct, my blood pressure was sky high again at 164/97,obviously a bit up because i am sick,but i have been having issues in the past with it.

I am in some pain as i type this, but it is now on a bearable level, thank goodness, she gave me gastrosmoothe to take and antibiotics.

Boy i sure hope to feel better soon,this is no fun at all.
