My gf and my grandma has diverticulitis so they cant eat anything with seeds or even corn otherwise they have bad stomach pains. As far as the back injury goes my grandpa had screws put into his his back and had alot of gas pain around the other side from the back pain so I feel you there too. I hope you get this straightened out and feel better.
What I did for them was get them Gas-X and Pepto bismal pills. As far as my grandpa went they had to pump his stomach of all the gas.

I hope your appt goes ok, and that you can get a better idea whatās going on, Ang!
Iāve never had back issues, but I do have diverticulosis. I get the most ridiculously extreme gas pains sometimes. Itās the only pain Iāve ever experienced that leaves me severely sweating, and leaves me feeling like Iām gonna pass out. So these are well beyond regular, severe pains.
I found a way to resolve the pain when it strikes. The ONLY way I can resolve it is to lay totally flat on my back (canāt cross my legs or it makes it worse).
As I lay totally flat I āhaveā to practice some mindfulness, and I focus on relaxing my stomach area and take long, slow deep breaths. I do this for about a half hour. By then the pain has mostly subsided if it hasnāt completely subsided. This has worked 100% of the time, and Iāve never had to pop a gas med to āhelpā. I donāt even have to become gassy for it to help. In fact, I rarely do.
I would strongly recommend this for anyone who gets the extreme pain from diverticulosis.
