Dear Cathy My heart broke as I read your post. My 15 yr old daughter just had an apendectomy about 6 weeks ago & I worry about her getting adhesions. You should take Cassie to the Dr. Get her on a regiment of pain meds so that she will be comfortable. The Dr can check at that time if she has a hernia or not. Cassie may have to alter her activities a little to decrease the pain. Best of Luck robin M
