Hello,
I am 24 years old, male and my appendix was removed 3 weeks ago. I still feel pain!!!! Doctors said it would go away, but it is still here. I feel it when I urinate or when I cough, when I laugh. When I eat, I feel sick. It really worries me. Is this chronic pain normal for this period (three weeks after the surgery)?

Hey,
I also had appendix removed, but soon after surgery I was sent home and week after I was doing normal activities. I was told not to over exaggerate with physical activity and not to lift things. I was also given specific diet (no fats, eggs...).
What is your nutrition? Do you eat correctly?
I am really sorry, but I had no such experience, once, soon after the surgery i was sick (because I ate pork, which I do not handle anyway). If I were you I would visit a doctor.

I had my appendix removed a week ago. I still have pain on the lower left side. Is this normal? Anyone get an answer from a doctor on a possible complication?

what causes chast pain after appendix is removed

Shoulder pain can happen after a laparascopic appendectomy because of the air they pump into your abdomen moves around. It should resolve in a few days once the air becomes absorbed.

Hi, im 28 years old, male. I just had a laproscopic appendectomy a week and a half ago. Im home now and i get extreme pain in my right shoulder and also in both chest cavities as if someone broke my ribs. I experience shortness of breath and it is very painful. I visited my doctor and he said i have fluid buildup around the lung that will eventually be absorbed by my body. (noticed after ct scan) I know the pain. 750mg vicodin is helping subside the pain and hopefully it gets better in a couple of days or the doctor says i will have to have a fluid drain with a needle.

I'm 26 years old, female and I had a laproscopic appendectomy 2.5 weeks ago. A week after surgery I went back in because i developed severe pain, so bad I could barely walk. A CT Scan showed fluid, which is typical after surgery, and blood tests showed an elevated white blood cell count. They decided I had an infection and sent me home with cypro. A few days later I was fine. I just finished my antibiotics and thought I was fully recovered. But now am starting to have the sharp pains again - they are where my appendix used to be and espescially severe when I sit down or stand up. Someone told me it could just be nerves still recovering from the surgery. I didn't know if this was common or if I should be concerned.
