I am supose to get a sgimoidoscopy and need to schedule it but in the meantime the left side is killing me. This has gone on for a few months now but tonight it is really bad. It is hard to the touch and you can see it is distended compare to the other side. Without being to graphic I will just say there is major changes in bowel also.
Any ideas what would cause this? why it is rigid? and there is pain?

sounds like what i have and actually am having a flare up now, diverticulosis, which can go to diverticulitis, i go from loose to not so bm's and im hoping what ever is flaring up goes down with the antibiotics doc gave me, but you need to see a gastroinerologist as soon as possible, if it gets as ecscruciating to where your diaphram wont let you breath, then its 911 time, good luck and god bless

I would schedule that exam ASAP! I'm not a doctor, but rigidity and pain in the abdomen, with accompanying bowel problems sounds pretty serious. You need to have professional help without further delay. Why suffer any longer?
