Is there a relation between diverticulitis and nerve pain in legs?

I've had meralgia parasthetica - a burning and shooting pain in my thighs - for over 4 months. Very severe. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Then, a few weeks ago I had an attack of diverticulosis which caused an abscess leading to peritonitis and had to have emergency surgery. I hadn't had symptoms of diverticulitis that I'd noticed before the attack.

I have to think there is a relation between the two as I had been very healthy, not a sick day in years, until these problems. Edgar Cayce's site connects the two, but how about real life? Can anyone out there make the connection?

Or am I just being very unlucky!?

Thats interesting what Cayce has to say about that. It very well could have some connection.

Here is diverticulitis site. It has a lot of interesting links you might want to explore.

I agree you need to see a doctor if the problem doesnt go away,but check out the links at that site so you can be informed before you go at the least.

And who knows you might find out whats going on with your own research.

Thank you cvoneau...great link. I had scoured the internet on diverticulitis, but somehow never came across that one! My Dr. said there was no connection, but it's interesting that Cayce said there may be. Thanks for taking the time to give me such an informative answer! Report It

There may be. depends on your condition.

Go to a Dr and find out.
