Appendicitis laproscopy performed
An laproscopy for appendicitis was performed on me a week ago. Yesterday while dressing I stretched my left leg and suddenly I had worse pains like appendicitis pains I lay myself on the Bed and could not move my hips for 2 hours. After that the pain went abit. Next day I showed myself to doctor who did the operation before. He pressed my tummy and it hurt in left side along the groin. But he said it must be a mechanical pain I got. He anyway prescribed antibiotics and painkillers for 5 days. Could this be serious? Today (2 days after) I am still having a small pain on my right lower like appendicitis pain on/off. What should I do? Or is it to early to do anything?

Continue medications and wait for a total of 1 week after surgery. It is reassuring that the pain has reduced. Swelling in the surrounding regions due to the appendicitis is the reason why you still feel the pain.
Next Steps
Review with your surgeon after 1 week of surgery. Of the pain still persists, pls get s second opinion.
