What Could Be The Reason For Having Pain In Lower And Mid Abdomen?

Hi. I am a 17 year old female. I had my appendix removed when I was three years old due to a pinhole sized leak. My concern is that I often still get pain in my lower right abdomen, around where my appendix should be. It gets extremely tender and lately it's been a bit more painful. Also, a few nights ago, i got a very sudden, very sharp stabbing pain in my mid abdomen on the right side. It was worse than I ever recall feeling. Help please?

welcome to HCM!

I have read your question carefully and from my clinical experinece I can say that the pain you have been having is not likely to be related to the past appendicectomy surgery. The surgery was sone long back and was successful with out any complication, so the current pain symptoms are due to something else ( even is the site appears to be similar one.)

I think you should meet a doctor, get an ultra sound abdomen done along with routine blood test and see what is causing it.

For the acute pain, you may go for pain killer injections: I chooses to give my patients a shot of diclofenac sodium with phenargan for such pain.

This sharp and growing pain should be looked into and treated properly, so please consult a doctor.

## can be due to gall stones or kidney stones, ultra sound can rule this out.

Hope the reply is useful
