What Causes Pain In Left Hip With History Of Diverticulitis?

Yes go to ER
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Diverticulitis pain usually occurs near the left hip.
With the history of constipation and diverticulitis it is very much likely that the current episode of pain may also be due to diverticulitis.
Milder attacks usually respond to oral antibiotics. But for severe form you may need hospitalization, confirmation of the diagnosis with a CT scan and for intravenous antibiotics.
Since you are not finding relief with the oral antibiotics and that the pain is severe I would advise you to go to ER for confirmation of the diagnosis and further management.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
