What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain Despite Being On Norco Tablet?

Hi, I am experiencing moderate to heavy pain in my abddominal area. Front left side, about same height as my belly button. I thought it might be diverticulitis. Took Norco for the pain. Went to sleep(kinda). Woke up to pain. Seems too high to be diverticulitis. Not familiar with internal organs. Taking a deep breath puts pressure on the area. Any ideas?

Radiologist 's  Response
Diverticulitis is a comparatively rare condition and should not be thought of as the first cause of pain unless you have a known history.

To begin with the simplest cause can be a renal stone.

I would suggest you to undergo an ultrasound study of the abdomen to have a look at the internal organs and rule out any sinister cause.

I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to get back to me in case you have any more doubts.
