[|Human|] 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 its 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?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor! I have read your question carefully and from my clinical experience I can say that the pain you have been having is not likely to be related to the past appendectomy surgery. The surgery was one long back and was successful without 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 ultrasound abdomen done along with routine blood test and see what is causing it. For the acute pain, you may go for painkiller injections: I choose to give my patients a shot of diclofenac sodium with shenanigan for such pain.This is 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, ultrasound can rule this out. Hope the reply is useful feel free to ask more questions
