What Shall I Do For Severe Back Pain?
I was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis and with the treatment of two antibiotics the pain in my lower abdomen is gone but it seems to have moved to my side or lower back and the pain is severe. Acetomenophin doesn t seem to work can I take anything else or place a heating pad to alleviate the pain.

Hi there.
The pain which has moved to the side is also referred pain due to diverticulitis.
Heating pad will probably not do any good as it is not a voluntary muscle pain.
For relieving pain I would advise you tramodol . It is good for such symptoms.
Kindly also take some antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor.
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
