Mild Pain on my surgical area
I have appendicitis and it was removed by open surgery back in 2021. After successful removal, the wound got infected and it took morethan a year for recovery.
Morethan 1 year passed after operation, I still felt mild pain on inside the area. I approach my doctor morethan 5-8 times, complaining my problem. My doctor prescribed me to took USG and even CT Scan. However all the results were normal excet that there is fats around the sugical area. I took medicine and took good medication under his prescription. I don't feel the pain at every time but it comes up sometimes. Not only the pain, sometimes I excrete blood with my stool and my stool smells like rotten fruits, (smell sour).
My doctor who did the surgery was no more.
What will be the possible causes? Is the spot not completely cure?
Suggest me the best medicine for this, Please

Pain at the surgical site is common after surgery, specially open surgeries, due to damage to small nerves in the subcutaneous layers. Moreover, you had a wound infection that took a long time to heal, so all the more chances to have mild pain sometimes.
As the usg and CT was normal, no need to worry about the mild pain.
