this can be related to postoperative adhesion formation. bed rest fluids pain medications e. g nsaids spasmolytics etc will cool off a moderate case. however if it recurs and persists with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction then surgical lysis of the adhesion may be required. its unlikely to a remains of the sort you pointed too if the appendectomy was conducted successfully. wishing you best of health thanks
i had a pretty bad case of appendicitis almost 2 years ago. i had no fever or nausea. i was eating fine. my white blood cell count was normal. and the pain was dull at first. about 3-4 weeks later the pain became intense. if i laid on my stomach stretching my abdomen it was about a 7-8 on the pain scale. i had emergency appendectomy after an ultrasound showed an inflamed appendix. the surgeon told me it had not ruptured but was very infected and my body had walled off the infection and in 40 years i was his second case of a similar situation. this was a pretty dramatic operation. 4 nights in the hospital an infiltrated vein and 6 months of c diff after. about 2 weeks ago i started noticing a similar pain. lower right side near mcburney's point. it's a warm throbbing sensation maybe 3-4 on the pain scale at its worse. does this sound like possible stump appendicitis? i am very worried as i have no current insurance and my first operation cost almost 40k including c diff treatment.
