Nerve regrowth: You had your appendix removed 3 months ago. You have pains in the region and it hurts so much that you double over. This could be nerve growth and will happen sporadically. Of you had a ct scan to look for abscess and it was negative then nerve regrowth will lessen in time.

Post op pain: Follow up with your surgeon or GI to ensure that there are no issues like an abscess or other issues like obstruction . Once these are ruled out consider seeing your GI to help with finding other potential causes.
