Pain : Yes your pain can be stemming from your diverticulum as fills and empties from stool.

It's the inherent : Inflammation of the pouches of diverticula aggravated by the passage of undigested food and stool that causes pain. Antibiotics is needed if they are inflamed and pain gets worse. Always follow up with your GI for any concerns. Take care!
