I have had pain in my lower abdomen with gas and constipation for the past few days.  The pain was bad enough that I could not go to work, the same thing happened a month ago.  I was diagnosed with diverticulitis a few years ago but had no symptoms of it.  I am wondering if I need a colonoscopy or what I should do.  I see my gynecologist next week. I am a 66 year old female.
Hi, Seems intestine colic related, though OBEY can guide. I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist after that visit if needed.  Primary relief with:- Bulk forming laxatives as spatula husk or psyllium husk.- HY Chat Doctor.  - Strict dietary measures.- Regular walking and exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
