A member asked:
Is it possible that i still experience some pain after one year of removing my appendix? is it the scar tissue acting up with stress? what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes pain: The recovery of the appendix in the intestine is done. The recovery of the muscle and scar tissue can take a year or longer. Continue ti recover by eating well with every meal. Exercise daily and walk walk walk. Your muscles need to be strengthened and stretched in order to maintain best performance. It is a life long goal for everyone. The nerves of that area are still recovering.
