Abd pain: Make sure that this is the true cause see your GI or surgeon and undergo a colonoscopy and or be to determine the etiology sometimes a short course of antibiotics is needed.

See a doctor.: Diverticulosis shouldn't hurt. If there's an infection there, called diverticulITIS, then there could be pain but then you'd need an evaluation and antibiotics. See a doctor soon.
