Hi - I had my appendix out 24 days ago
whilst on holiday in Crete. I recovered
from the operation very quickly around the
site of my appendix and the pain was
manageable within 24 hours without any
medication. Ever since the operation I
have been increasingly more and more tired
and have had a severe headache with
temporary loss of vision and blurring a
couple of times (lasting a whole day at a
time) since. As far as I know, surgery was
routine although conducted very quickly -
the diagnosis was based on localised lower
right abdominal pain which lasted a couple
of hours, high white blood cell count and
a physical examination, the ultrasound
didn't show any signs of appendicitis and
afterwards I wasn't told if the appendix
was noticeably infected or not.
Doctors opinion please - Is it common to
be so exhausted this long after surgery ?
or do you think there is possibility that
I was misdiagnosed with acute appendicitis
?
I look forward to hearing from you.
