Hi. For about 3 weeks now, I have had a sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen just below the belly button and around to my lower back. Feels badly bruised but also crampy. I would think it is diverticulosis but I have been on anti biotics for almost 3 weeks now for sinus infection . I had a hysterectomy in November but my doctor said she never did anything in that area.
Hello Roxanne, thanks for posting on Chat Doctor, From your description it is very possible that you are having a kidney diseases (infection or stones) which will require to be confirmed by a doctor. Urinalysis (if possible culture and sensitivity test performed), abdominal ultrasound (specifically look at the kidneys), blood test (CBC, urea, creatinine, BUN etc.) will be needed in order to confirm the kidney diseases or exclude it. If that be the case, you will require another course of antibiotics, take antispasmodic Chat Doctor.
