im 39 yrs old. and have read all the post about left abdominal and left testicle pain. i had these symptoms for years, i have had doctors tell me every thing you guys have heard. but on march 7 2012 i went to the emergency room, after a ct scan i was told i had a burst diverticuli and they would be operating now... after a 6 hr surgery i woke up with a colostomy bag attached to my side, and was told it would be there for 6 months. what a life changer. after 6 months i went through another take down surgery. pure hell for 3 weeks after. every thing seems fine now. until the last week , the symptoms are coming back, mild left adominal and left testical pain. i know they took out the infected part of my colon and intestine. but im know wondering if it's starting all over again.
