Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of diverticulitis 10 years ago and now pain in the left upper quadrant for 3 days with fever and tenderness also.
Obviously the first probable diagnosis will be diverticultis and a CT scan of the abdomen will be diagnostic.
Consult the Doctor and get started on proper line of treatment.
I find this answer helpful
