What Does Sharp Pain In The Appendix Area Indicate?
My female church friend is experiencing a sharp pain along the right front appendix area and rear area around her right kidney. she has has an appendectomy, gall bladder removed and hysterectomy. she is currently running a high fever. x-rays shows negative as well as mri. blood and urine samples shows all normal. I thought perhaps a kidney stone, urinary tract infection, or perhaps a hernia, my wife stated it might be acid reflux. what do you think??

Hi,
It cannot be acid reflux and GERD because that is in the upper abdomen. Yes....it can be a sort of kidney infection because of which she is having a high fever. A renal or ureteric stone
might be the focus of infection and inflammation. She needs a urinary culture and KUB ultrasound for evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
