What Causes Sharp Pain Near The Area Where Appendix Is Removed?
For many years I have had a sharp pain where my appendix were removed. My doctor said it is from the operation. I guess after 50 years I can t understand this? Can you help me understand this logic? I am trying to keep myself very healthy with good food and exercise. My husband died from pancreatic cancer and I don t want to assume anything. Thank you, Mrs. Lanes

Scar tissue left over from the operation can sometimes cause recurrent pain. Is this pain any different from what you've always felt? In it is, something else might be going on. You are at an age where new symptoms need to be taken seriously. If this pain seems different to you, or other symptoms are occurring with it, you should be seen by your doctor. Ask him or her to do some investigation to figure out what it is.
