Pain after appendectomy

Hello @ctarrillo and welcome to Mayo Connect. I read your post and I'm wondering how long ago you had your surgery. Was it a laparoscopic procedure?

Have you discussed this problem with your doctor? Did he/she offer any suggestions as to the reason or what you can do to help?

My symptoms started before the hospitalization. They removed my appendix but said it was perfectly healthy. It was laparoscopic but she said everything is actually healthy.

Currently they have no idea how to proceed and are now testing for immune stuff which I’m currently in the waiting room for. Idk how it will turn out.

For context, I have MCAS (Mast Cell), and a history of ovarian cysts and SIBO.A few months ago in February I had a laparoscopic appendectomy. Ever since then, starting mainly around a month post-op. I have been having the most severe gut health problems. I already follow a gluten free and vegan diet because of my sensitivity to animal products and gluten. It started in March with severe gas, very strong odor (something that I had never had in the past). It was agonizing and I felt nauseous constantly. Then it progressed to severe constipation, and even now I am constipated to the point where an enema does not do anything. As it progressed my heartburn after eating anything became horrible. Medications like tums, Pepcid, etc. do not help. These past two months I get horrifically bloated and develop abdominal cramps no matter what I eat. There is nausea following 90% of meals I eat, especially sugar. In addition I have developed panic attacks after eating. My worry is that in the past I’ve had two laparoscopic surgeries for ovarian cysts (this my abdomen has had a lot of trauma), I fear that during the appendectomy my vague nerve was damaged. I have also already don’t testing for parasites. I have found the only thing that completely stops the stomach ache is the use of edibles (marajuana) as it relaxes my vague nerve. I have an appointment with the Mayo Clinic in August but am desperate to know if anyone else has had complications like this following appendicitis.Also relevant: when I have abdominal pain it tends to be located on the lower left, occasionally lower right, by the bellybutton, and above the bellybutton.

Hi, I know this post is a couple of years old, but I'm hoping you will see this. I had my appendix taken out last November, since than I have has terrible gas problem. I cannot eat or drink anything without getting bloated and burping for hours and nausea all the time. I went to the hospital 2 times , both times ct scan and blood work and they say everything looks okay. I have tried everything to help this and nothing works from diets, protonix , gas pills , prebiotic. This has taken a toll on me and.i have become depressed from this. All day I'm bloated and burping. Sometimes so bad I vomit , nausea all the time. I'm lost and praying for help. Got a appointment with gastro on jan23. I should have been made a appointment earlier besides always going to urgent care and hospital but I have appointment now and hoping I can get some help.

I mean in the fall I’ll be going to a university for nursing and psychology but not really any teaching universities that I could go to

Did your surgeon consider intestinal adhesions that cannot be seen on imaging? Read the following.
