Hi.
Thanks for your query.
It looks you are a known patient of diverticulitis and as you have suspected rightly this can be resurgence of diverticulitis with peritonitis causing all the pains in the abdomen, hip and rectum.
This can be just a severe form of colitis too.

The best way to get a diagnosis is to undergo a Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen, colonoscopy and relevant blood, urine and stool tests.

Once the diagnosis is made, it will be decided whether to continue the medical management or to go for excision of the colon bearing diverticuli.
