Hi..Tale.., the appendix, meckels diverticulum, small bowel is surgically removed.. the nerve supply of the appendix, and lower abdominal skin on right side is same .. hence you feel referred pain...
but after 1.5 months if you still feel same kind of pain, then you need to clinically examined, investigated to rule out post operative infection... do not neglect the condition..
Take care..
