question: Hi my son is nearly 12 and was admitted into the Children s hospital with severe pain over the appendix area and slight pain in the central area of his chest. Eventually after 5 days they scanned him and saw his appendix was slightly inflamed and he ended up have it removed. He was discharged 4 days later still in pain. (he has a high pain threshold and is not a moaner ). we are now nearly 3 weeks post op and his pain is now in a band shape across the lower abdomen but is still very very painful when he moves. He is ok when still. However in the last two days he has increasingly complained of sharp pain initially around his heart but now feels like the pain is back in the middle of his breast bone... He is going to hospital for a scan tomorrow but doctors seem baffled and we are not getting any closer to sorting out why my son has this pain. he has had it a very long time now. He has also been having more flem than usual which has a slight brown tint to it?? any ideas?? thanks sarah
