Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Could be: Constipation or diverticular disease. If you have a fever and pain and are not constipated, go to your doctor today or er. Acute complicated diverticulitis can be a medical emergency. Don't wait to see if it's getting better.
