Slight Pain In Right Side
Posted: 08-22-05 10:40am

I am 62 years of age, have had my appendix and gallbladder removed many years ago. I am noticing a twinge, or almost negligible pain in the appendix area - right side, forward and just above the hip. This is very intermittent and has been noticed for about 6 months now. I also have noticed that my gut has slowly become enlarged and hangs out as in "beer gut," although I drink very little. I have a good deal of flatulence and stools show no problem. I have thought about a colon polyp, which has not been checked. No other indicators. What comes to your mind?
