Hi Lee!
I had my appendix out also and I did continue
to have pain. Three years later I had female-
related problems that were giving me some major
problems. Turns out that when my appendix was
taken out, they had to take out a lot of endometriosis
adhesions to get to it. It would have been nice
had I known about the endometriosis and if I had been
told - but instead I had to wait until the problem
was an emergency before the problem was dealt with
basically an emergency hysterectomy. You can get
endometriosis on your appendix which is what happened
to me. At the time the appendix was taken out I
guess it was so gangerous it just fell off into the surgeon's
hand.
Ask for the surgical report. That will give some
clues as to what else might have been there at the
time of the surgery. If nothing seems apparent on the
report - by all means make
a point of asking the surgeon what he saw in there
because he would know if you had endometriosis or
not.
