Have Pain In The Upper Quadrant. Had A Positive CT For Diverticulitis. On Flagyl. Keeps Repeating. Colonoscopies Clear. Suggestions?

I have been having pain in my upper left quadrant for 4 years now. In the ER, I've had 1 positive CT for diverticulitis in 2009. They give me Flagyl and Cirpo as my WBC are elevated. That usually works and the pain subsides to a 5/6. I would have episodes of the same thing every 6 months. Same exact spot, same exact pain. Never changes. Again the WBC's are elevated but CT's are negative. I've had 2 colonoscopies that are clear. They can't seem to find out the cause of this pain. Could it be my pancreas? I'm type 2 diabetic as well.

Hi, it appears to the gastritis associated with the diverticulitis, You need to have treatment for the gastritis, you may need to have gastroscopy as well. So i advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for relief of the pain besides your treat ment for diverticulitis. Thank you.
