Not appendix...: Causes of recurrent abdominal discomfort as described may be identified by first addressing signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: in women: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniation? Stressors? Other risks?

If you: Had a ct scan which did not show anything, it is unlikely that you have a hernia or any anatomical abnormality. Sometimes, you can get intermittent intestinal obstruction caused by adhesions from previous appendectomy. Consult a surgeon for an opinion.
