the diverticulitis is in the large intestine. on the left side. the anal cramps i have no idea what that might be. PLEASE do have the pap smear. keep up to date on it. i know it's easy to say not to worry. but try to relax. worrying only intensifies symptoms. which you do not need. i do and i'm miserable afterwords.
now i need you to understand. i am not a doctor. anything i say or recommend is from many years of trial & error. and from my experience with conditions that i have or had in my lifetime. OK? anything i have, i investigate with doctors, books and online. that is the best thing you can do for yourself. or any family members. good luck, d
