What Causes Recurring Abdominal Pain Around An Appendectomy Scar?
Male 41 I have a sharp pain similar in scope to being kicked in the testicles on the right side of my abdomen, about level with my appendectomy scar. The pain is a knee-buckler and only lasts for a second or two and then disappears. The appendectomy was 35 years ago, so I m not thinking it s related other than the geography.

Hi.
Such a severe pain in the right iliac fossa at the level of appendectomy scar can be due to a referred pain:
Due to testicular torsion
Due to right ureteric stone
or nerve entrapment.
Get an ultrasonography and color Doppler of the abdomen and the scrotum, get a consultation of a general Surgeon and get a diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
