A member asked:
Does chronic appendicitis exist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: There are people who have point tenderness at the location of the appendix but without fever, signs of infection. They may have obstruction of the appendix and have 'pressure' in it. If other issues are disproven, removal may solve the issue.
