Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diverticultis is commonly treated with a combination of antibiotic and it is possible that one of the antibiotics, is causing some of the GI effects- the nausea.
It is likely that they would have imaging to take a look at the abdomen but if this is not the case, you should have imaging done.
Muscle aches and stiffness can occur with infections, in your case the fluid and electrolyte loss is likely contributing.
I hope this helps
