What Does A CT Scan Showing Appendix With History Of Appendix Removal Indicate?

I have recently been having some side pain, and a few years ago I had a weird CT reading. I went to the ER because I was having stomach issues and the hospital radiologist wasn t there so the hospital used a service from outside to initially read it. The results were fine, but said my appendix was visible and functioning normal. I had my appendix removed in the 6th grade and no doctors could explain why the results came out this way. When I got the CT results from the hospital s radiologist the next day it didn t say that. Could there have been something there they assumed was my appendix, that could be causing problems now?
