Had Laparoscopic Appendectomy. Diagnosed With PID. Watery Stools, Sharp Abdominal Pains. Worried?

Hi, I had a laparoscopic appendectomy one week ago, with the diagnosis of PID. after a 5 day hospital stay, I finally could hold down food. I still have watery bowel movements, and my biggest complaint is very sharp upper abdominal cramps, with pain in the same place in my back. it gets worse after eating, and at night, where even under dilaudid and sleep medication I am still awoken with pain. Is this something to be worried about?thank you.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You had laparoscopic appendectomy operation, after 5 days pelvic inflamatory disease is diagnised, inspite of stopping food you have got watery bowel movements. You are also getting sharp pain in the upper abdomen, and back, desturbing the sleep.
There could be so many causes , pelvic inflamatory disease would have been there before the operation, and its treatment would have been post poned, the medicines used for these two would have caused diarrhoea, and gastric pain. Rare cause may be nonfusion of appendicular stitches.
I advise you to consult your surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. you may need to have M.R.I.besides other routine tests for confermation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
best regards.
