A member asked:

Is it possible to develop adhesions or scar tissue? i had an appendectomy 3 months ago i have pain on the left hand side close to my groin and middle

Specializes in Family Medicine

Abdominal pain: Adhesions are common after any surgical procedure. If you had an appendectomy, I would expect your adhesion pain to be on your right side. Groin pain is more likely musculoskelatal, lymph nodes or hernia.
