I had to get my appendix removed in September and I have not been back to work yet. I still have the terrible pain still in my abdomen and goes into my back. I am scheduled to go back to work for January. I just wondered if any other epileptics have had appendix issues???

I had my appendix removed around age 15. Had the surgery right away . Stayed a couple days in the hospital before being released. You will have a weight restriction on what you lift and carry. You’ll just live with a stitch scar on the right lower part of you stomach for the rest of your life.

Hoping nothing is wrong as they say... Stay positive and remember, one day at a time!

You might have a side effect of the surgery. Check with the Surgeon.
