Unlikely: Without fevers, or chills, i think it is unlikely this is due to diverticulitis. Other sources could be a kidney stone or a rare type of a hernia. Other likely causes would be just routine muscle strain.

Diverticulitis ?: Maybe, should see your doctor for a physical exam and possible radiology studies.
