A member asked:
Can there be a relation between diverticulitis and nerve pain in legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think so: Unless the infection is so severe that spreads to the areas of the nerves. Anatomically these structures are not that close. You should look for other causes. Ask your doctor for more accurate assessment.
