Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had this uncomfortable feeling up and down my left side for three weeks now. Sometimes it is under my left rib cage and I can feel it in my back. It seem to be relieved for a short time after burping or passing gas but it comes back. I have diverticulosis and am 37 years old male. Can you help please.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to the presence of gas in the colon. I suggest using Simethicone medications three times a day to relieve the bloating. I also suggest using a spasmolytic in case of pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
