What Causes Constant Abdominal And Back Pain When Diagnosed With Diverticulosis And Lymphoma?

About two weeks ago I was hit by a completely sleepless night due to abdominal pain with accompanying back pain.I have had colon cancer but very reliable bowels and no fevers - just intense pain. Other pain is occasional light pain in the groin area that pops up and disappears soon. Much pain is leading to short sleeping most nights and listless days and basically feeling lousy. My temp. stays in the 97 range, A CT csan gave diverticulosis or lymphoma as possible diagnosis. I am scheduled for a PET scan next getting weaker all the time, Please give me your thoughts.

the PET scan will let us know if there is metastasis
in most of the cases metastasis involving vertebrae spine and surrounding tissue cause pain
once the results of the PET are available the net course of action will be decided
since to control this moderate to severe pain OTC or non prescription medication will not help you nee or may need powerful analgesic which are all opiodes and are available only on prescription I request you to please schedule appointment with your oncologist and pain physician
