With diverticulitis, the frequent complaint is left lower abdominal pain. The Cipro and Flagyl treat the inflammation, thereby reducing a certain amount of pain from that, and prevent secondary infection, but use analgesics to treat pain and discomfort. And be certain you're following your diet (first clear liquids, advanced to full liquids and then regular diet) if one has been prescribed for you; that you're getting bed rest and decreasing your mobility to allow the bowel to rest. Complete your antibiotic/antimicrobial therapy. Try using a heating pad on the low setting and see if that helps with pain.
If you still have no reduction in pain after 1 to 2 days, contact your Gastroenterologist and report this.

Cipro for diverticulitis ? Cipro is a powerful anti-biotic, unless your diverticulum is infected I can't see why your doctor would put you on that, I don't know what flaglyn is for though, I'd get a second opinion, and watch my diet, no seeds, berries, nuts, or anything hard to digest.

That is strange, since Ciprofloxacin and Flagyl are antibiotics.
You need to see your doctor again. There could be lots of other causes, from gall bladder, to appendix, to heart, to acid reflux, and more.
It could be serious. When your doctor prescribed those medications, what did she say it was?

This is a question for a doctor, not Yahoo Answers.
