What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Back After An Appendectomy?
Hello. I had an appendectomy 2 weeks ago . The past couple of days I have been having severe sharp consistent pains on my left side lower/ mid back that come and go throughout the day and I can t get comfortable at all at night. Is this normal and part of the recovery?

Hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your query in depth .
@ Minor amount of back pain is acceptable as after spinal anesthesia ( not
in general anesthesia patient ) for certain time period .
@ More severe pain has to be evaluated for the same , it is not normal part
of recovery .
Hope this clears your doubt .
Thanks .
