It was the right call because I had a good case of transverse diverticulitis but unless I was certain that I was desperately unwell, I probably would wait for an appointment. Also, you would be exposed to a bunch of nasty germs while waiting for the CT. All of that said, you know your body best. I hope you feel better soon.
My pain doesn’t seem as bad as your describing & I also don’t have a fever. just very annoying & uncomfortable pain. That is true I rather not go to the ER with covid going on right now unless I really have to. Thank you for the advice!
