How long should diverticulitis last? My stool production has fallen for the past three weeks to diarrhea. I had to discontinue antibiotics (Flaygl, 3 daily and Cipro, 2 daily, both 500mg each) after three days due to that. For the past two weeks I have had a burning sensation that comes and goes in my lower left abdomen at the waist. Two years ago, I had an epigastric hernia repair with mesh, would this be a factor in the burning sensation I am feeling?
