How To Cure Pain And Large Abscess Due To Ruptured Appendix?

Over a month ago I had a ruptured appendix which then caused an enormous abcess. I had to be in the hospital for five days to have it drained. I was on antibiotics for almost three weeks. Once the abcess was gone it looked as if only the top of my appendix ruptured, but it healed itself. Surgeon recommended I not get the surgery. Now over a month later I have sharp pains in the abdomen especially on the right. I also have pains up my back. Ido have a fever that began last night. Thoughts? Advice? Is it the appendix? Also? I had a baby almost three months ago....could it be something female related?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for your query, read and understood the problems.

The rules of the Surgical fields have to followed strictly to avoid such complications.
Since you had an appendicular abscess you should have got operated after a few weeks from now on- but unfortunately for you there is a similar problem.
Only CT scan of the abdomen can tell us whether there is a recurrence of Appendicitis or something else.
It is OK, we have to face the problem. I would advise you the following:
Get admitted, get started on intravenous fluids and antibiotics and supportive medicines .
Get he blood counts ans all necessary tests.
CT scan to confirm.
Surgeon would assess the possibility to operate or wait for 6 more weeks depending upon your response to conservative management.

This does not look to be associated with female related .

Do not worry , a proper diagnosis and treatment would help you out,
Afterwards get operate at an appropriate time.
