Brief Answer:
I will recommend buscopan for pain control rather!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The pain associate with diverticulitis is caused by cramps. The best drug would be buscopan. I will recommend 10mg every 8hours. At this time, I will suggest that you stop Aleve and Tylenol.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted about the response and your response to treatment overall.
