I am a 38 year old male. my appendix ruptured 20 years ago and I have been fine up until about 4 years ago. I have had pretty extreme pain (especially when sitting down) in the area of my appendix. I have had MRI's and CT scans and even an ultrasound. I have received series of injections multiple times by different pain clinics, tried physical therapy, and nothing seems to help. I have an appointment with a surgeon next month, but after reading some of your posts, I am a little depressed :( maybe this is not the right thing for me to do. What do you folks suggest, I am willing to do anything, I am sick of the pain.
