Q: pain after appendix surgery

asked by: toothlady on April 1st, 2009

I had my appendix removed right at 2 weeks ago. I am still experiencing pain on my right side where my appendix would be. The doctor that did the surgery said my appendix where behind my colon and he had to "move things around" to get it out. He also said my appendix was rather large and was very hard. I'm not sure if my pain is normal or if something else is going on.
