Q: R Lung Pain After Appendectomy

Any ideas what's going on with me? I had an appendectomy 6 weeks ago, they had to take it the old-fashioned way (cut from my belly button across to my side) because it was adhered to my cecum, my fallopian tube and my ovary. At the same time an ob/gyn surgeon removed a cyst from my right ovary and cleaned adhesions from my twisted fallopian tube. My ob/gyn say he didn't remove my fallopian tube, the pathology report says he did. Either way i'm having pain in my right lung only when I lay on my right side. I feel pressure and then I get short of breath and pain that shoots up towards my collarbone/shoulder area. I'm also having a burning stinging pain below my belly button. My Dr. Diagnosed it first time as uti even though bacteria didn't show up. I took antibiotics for 5 days, seemed to feel a little better. Same exact symptoms as last time, but no bacteria in my urine. It doesn't sting when I pee, I don't feel like I have to go all the time, just pain below my abdomen after I pee. I've had a ct scan of my chest and my pelvic area. Both came up negative. Am I crazy? Dr's say nothing's showing up but I can't sleep on my right side and pain in abdomen isn't okay. Anyone have any ideas? I also have an unusually bad case of phlebitis for an active 32 year old female. Help! Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to read this loonngg message! :)

I would just say that you need to persist with your dr, until they find out why you are getting this pain. You are obviously suffering & they need to find out what the problem is. Keep on at them until they find out.

You need to have a ultra sound done.............It sounds like a situation with your liver or possibly your gall blader............I would suggets requesting this test to rule out the above.........Good luck
