A member asked:
Had emergency appendix (ruptured) removal on 6/24, later became infected, had to drain puss for almost 2 weeks, completely gone (infection) since last week (10 days ago), but still feeling slight pain from the surgery, is this normal???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would ask the Drs who did the surgery as they know exactly what was done and what is "normal" in people like you they have taken care of.
