A member asked:
What do you recommend if i had appendix removed years ago all of a sudden my scar where i had surgery gets swollen and hurts please help?

Is it a hernia?: It may be a hernia. The underlying tissue in the abdominal wall may not have healed correctly. This can create a small defect in the abdominal wall and part of the contents of your abdomen may have pushed through the abdominal wall. The best advice is to see a general surgeon about this.
