What Is The Treatment For Grumbling Appendix?
I have had a rumbling appendix for the last 20 years , for the last 10 days the pain was more intense but i didn't think it warranted a visit to the ER, however the pain has eased a little, but still "grabbing" and i have a burning sensation in that area and if i push on the area it makes me wretch I have had scans and a laproscope for other medical reasons and they told me if i get appendicitis to inform DR's that my appendix is not to be found, either tucked under my bowel or colon..should i be worried that it could have already burst?

it is called recurrent appendicitis; in this case the appendix gets infected repeatedly and sometimes leaks out its content but the hole seals / heals after few days making an old abscess-like mass!
the process recurs itself depending on preventive power of your body.
this case should not be neglected and you must consult surgeon immediately!
