Q: Chronic appendicitis ?

I am a 35yr old female, I have endometriosis, had 2 lap's to remove endo - last one was an emergency last month due to pain in my lower right side of abdomen. 2 weeks after this i got the same pain back and I had to go to Emerg again due to the pain. It starts off mid stomach and goes down to my lower right hand side of my abdomen and stays there. I went back to my Gyno and he said its probably not Endo now and i showed him where the pain is when i get it and he said next time it occurs he'll take out my appendix as you can get re-occuring appendicitis and my pain site is where my appendix is. Although i had CT scan done and it did not show appendicitis he says scans are never 100% accurate. I may add that on my RHS i have NO tube or ovary (missing since birth).
The pain is a stabbing constant pain that lasts for about 4 days and then goes for maybe a week or 2 weeks and then returns. RHS is tender to touch also. I feel nauseous with it, hardly eat and sometimes retch and feel miserable due to this pain.
Any ideas??

hey, sorry to hear about your condition, am not an expert on this whatsoever but it seems to me like your very uncomfortable and that is not good, i think you should ask your doctor to do more tests to find out what is causing this problem. tell him/her that you cannot continue in this pain as it is stopping you doing your daily routines and hopefully you will get this sorted hope i have been some help to you good luck Jenny
