Jenkelly,

Increasing steady pain in the lower left side could be a sign of diverticulosis, but if yours comes and goes and is not getting any worse it's probably something else. You might still want to mention it to your doctor just in case, since there are ways (a high fiber diet) to keep diverticulosis from getting worse and requiring heavy antibiotics or surgery. I ignored this advise for years and paid for it last week by needing surgery. But, hey, don't worry: the 5 guys burgers can still be part of your diet!

Good luck!
