Q: could i have stump appendicitis? my appendix burst and was removed, but i now have all the same symptoms and pain just like when i had appendicitis. i've had abdominal issues since my surgery pain off and on?

: Most likely related to surgery. Discuss with your surgeon. A burst appendix spills bad things into your belly which can result in scars and pockets of pus.
