Close Diverticulitis
A little less than 2 years ago I wound up in the hospital with a perforated ulcer. After I went home they ran all of the tests but they could not find a hole or a scar in my stomach. After a colonoscopy I was told that I had diverticulosis. I was bothered with a constant pain in my right side. Now, I've just had an attack of diverticulitis. Wonder if that was my problem 2 years ago?
