Are Antibiotics Sufficient To Treat Abdominal And Back Pain Caused By Diverticulitis?
I have a burning pain in my lower left abdomen and this has begun to be felt in my lower back. I have just finished a course of antibiotics for a stabbing pain in the same area, which was there for 4 weeks, and my doctor diagnosed diverticulitus. What could this be.
