HI Julie. It really is difficult to say for sure. High blood pressure can cause a range of symptoms but the fact that it starts after eating more likely points to a digestive condition which could be related to the appendix removal. The strong painkillers you are using may also be an issue. It is advisable that you follow up with the surgeon. Hopefully you are monitoring your blood pressure at home so take note if the symptoms also correlate with any rise in the blood pressure.

Hi Alexis. It’s unlikely to be the appendix because in most people that is located on the lower right side. However, the pain may be throughout the abdomen and just more intense on the lower right in appendicitis. Given your frequent urination this could very well be a urinary tract infection (UTI) or some other urinary problem. The results of a quick home urine dipstick test could help indicate what may be the problem but seeing a doctor is the better option. Yes, you should have it checked up if you have not one so already.

Hi Muhammad. Everybody has an appendix. The question is whether your appendix is inflamed or not. From the information you have provided it does not seem to be appendicitis. Abdominal pain is due to a number of different causes. Appendicitis is not the only cause.

Hi Sarah. Yes, it could be your appendix given the location and severity of the pain. But also take notice of other typical appendix symptoms. If it is indeed appendicitis then you could be risking your life by not seeking medical attention immediately. Also remember that ovarian and fallopian tube problems can be a cause for pain so low down and to the right, as well as issues with your colon or other abdominal and pelvic organs. Pain on its own is difficult to diagnose without diagnostic investigation so you doctor may have to do an ultrasound scan or other tests. See your doctor ASAP.
