I have a tender tummy and a sore lower back. About six months ago i had these symptoms on and off and ended up having an acute appendix attack, it has since been fine. That is up until yesterday. Is it possible that i am about to start having these symptom again alot and if so what could it be.  I have no faith in the dr i am seeing as he could not get to the bottom of it last time.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With a past history of appendicitis, the recurrence of pain/similar symptoms could be due to the revival of infection/inflammation of the appendix. This could be judged only by a clinical examination and related investigations, and so I would advise you to consult a general surgeon in your area for a proper diagnosis to have an appropriate management. Only when recurrence of the appendicitis is excluded, other minor problems like a colitis, ureteric calculi and a UTI could be considered in the differential diagnosis. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
