                        I have had this slight nagging pain for last 8 years in my lower left abdomen. When I asked my doc she said it was just my bowel.  Ignored it.  Now when it gets from level 2 to level 3-4 pain my new doc tests and finds out diverticulitis.  I am supposed to go for colonoscopy.  I am so afraid and nervous.  Please help me if you have any positive reassurances.  thankyou.
