I had surgery(laparoscopic) to have my appendix removed a month ago, and I have been having pain in that same area since a week later. My appendix was imflamed but I was told not ruptured. I also had excessive scar issue around the appenddix that had to be removed. The pain is sharp and throbbing at times, especially if I sit straight up for a long period of time, or when I walk around alot. I have had several blood test to check for infections and even a pelvic ultrasound but nothing showed up. When I have a pelvic exam completed they push down on that area and it is very tender to touch and causes very bad pain for serval hours afterwards. The doctors are not sure what could be the problem. My doctor states the only way to find the issue is to have another surgery performed. Another solution?
