Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I can understand the plight you must be going through as you are having pains in spite of the surgery for looking inside, which was normal and they removed the appendix.
The symptoms of potential appendicitis are :
Pain starts in the upper abdomen and shifts to the right power quadrant, with or without other symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fever , loose motions or constipation; the pain can be mild or very much severe.
Your problem looks to be related to IBS: Get remaining tests of CT scan of the abdomen and Colonoscopy to rule out other diseases. If all the investigations are normal , this is a case of IBS- Irritable Bowel Syndrome and you will be fine.
