i think what you're experiencing is indeed normal. at least if it's absent other signs or symptoms such as a fever. you don't say if you're experiencing pain at the incision sites or in the area where your appendix used to be. either way it's possible some of this pain is due to the development of scar tissue. scar tissue will form wherever healthy tissue was cut. scar tissue is kind of fibrous and can contract which could give you that pain you're experiencing when you try to stretch. the good news is the pain probably will go away eventually. if it's caused by scar tissue this may relax or break down so it's not so tight. if the pain is caused by general post-surgical tissue inflammation that also should calm down as the tissue fully repairs itself. if you experience a fever or any systemic symptoms you should seek medical attention. but if you're just experiencing minor pain you might give it awhile and see if this improves. if not by all means revisit your doctor. wishing you well!
