Chronic appendicitis: On the risk/benefit analysis, most surgeons and docs are trained to access ACUTE appendicitis. You may need to go to your regular doc and get a referral to your local private surgeon. What you describe is NOT an emergency, but a rare problem that can be addressed as on outpatient, or elective surgical procedure. Be Well.
