Hi,
Based on the history you have shared,your symptoms can be the recurrence of diverticulitis as it is more clear after colonoscopy because the sensitivity of CT scan to pick diverticulitis is low. For the pain, I would recommend you to take over the counter painkillers and get colonoscopy done plus try to take soft diet that is easy to digest. It will surely help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
