What Causes Pain Near Appendix?
Hello, I have pains near my appendix which have been on and off for over a year now... At first it was very bad and I woke up in the middle of the night, it hurt when I moved my leg and when I stretched my stomach outwards I almost felt it rubbing on the surface of my skin as if it were swollen.
Anyway, I have been to a doctor and had an MRI scan and apparently there is nothing wrong... But the pain occasionally comes back, sometimes when I eat. What could this be? Chronic appendicitis?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic appendicitis.
Many a time if appendix is retro-cecal it can not be visualized with ultra sound.
This can be very well judged on physical examination.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
