I had an appendectomy last Thursday. They were able to do it with a laparoscope, unfortunately before I got to surgery the appendix ruptured. I was on bed rest until the surgery. I now have occasional severe cramping and spasms at the location of the appendix removed. Is this normal? and will it go away during healing?
Hi. This is not normal to have any pain in abdomen after any surgery. As the appendix had opened up before surgery and the pus has spread into the cavity, it is possible that the infection is still not settled. You may have to take very intensive antibacterial therapy in the hospital, not to be discharged until fully recovered. You may need re-exploration.
