A member asked:

With chronic appendicites what are the symptoms ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chronic mild pain: There would be right lower quadrant pain, but it would be mild and vague. There could be some low level fever or malaise. Unlike acute appendicitis, there is only mild loss of appetite. Again, this is uncommon, and there's not a typical presentation. A ct will show some thickening of the organ, but not the intense inflammation or stranding seen in the acute illness. Good luck.
