What Does Lower Backache On The Left Side Indicate?

I m getting sharp intermittent pains on my lower left side of my back. No strain, no trauma. I have been awake these past eight hours and have had no issues all day. I had been diagnosed with diverticulitis. I ve had no problems for several months. Could this be related to that diagnosis?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This pain does not seem to be due to diverticulitis. It seems to be more of renal calculus.

Get an ultrasound of abdomen done and take an antispasmodic medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahaveer Patil
