How long should i expect tenderness in my stomach & left side after diverticulitis flare up? is it ok to run...this morn it made it worse. better now.

Ask your doctor: May take some weeks to recover. Depends on how severe an episode you had. Your doctor would know your test results & be able to tell you what to expect for your own specific situation.
