Long story short...i have a kidney stone left side. I have had it for a few years..I just had a CTscan because I have been experiencing diverticulitis abdominal pains. I have IBS and go to the bathroom up to 6 times before noon. Anyway I have to hurry up have metamucil, gabapentin, and heating pad...and then in about an hour I can function. My question is is kidneys pain or infection diverticulitis related? The whole crappy deal is I can't afford insurance let alone co-pay at the health clinic. Could the stone be lodged? Or is this just all fibromyalgia?
