After an appendectomy, pain can vary depending on the surgical method used (open surgery vs. laparoscopic). Generally, you may experience significant discomfort for the first few days, which should gradually improve within one to two weeks. If pain persists beyond this period or worsens, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional, as it could indicate complications. Always follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions for best recovery practices.

How do you know if its your appendix or just a tummy ache?

If you have a bad appendix, then the pain will usually be in the very lower right side of the abdomen, although the pain may be near the belly button or even in the lower back. A burst appendix can be a serious matter, so you should see a doctor if the pain persists. If you have a fever as well as the pain, you need to head to the emergency room as your appendix may have burst causing an infection. Usually when you have a tummy bug or tummy ache the pain stays in the middle, but with appendicitis, the pain becomes extremely painful and moves towards the side of your tummy. Very painful tummy aches should immediately be checked out by a physician or better, at the hospital because there may be a chance your appendix is bursting. When it bursts a sort of fluid flows out and it can cause infection. In more severe cases it causes death. Just like Houdini who died of his appendix bursting.

the possibility of him dying from his appendix cannot be true since the appendix is on the right side and not the left as where his pain derived from. WRONG!! The pain from an appendix is on the left side, it is called rebounding pain. The pain originates from one part of the body, but it is felt somewhere else....


Where would pain appear if the appendix was receiving painful stimuli?

Pain in the appendix is felt around the umbilicus (belly button). If the appendix is inflamed (as it is when infected a.k.a. appendicitis) it begins to irritate the abdominal lining around it and the pain will move into the lower right part of the abdomen.
