I had my appendix out a month ago. The surgeon said it may not have been appendicitis, that the CT looked like it bu that when he got the appendix he wasn't sure. In follow up the surgeon said the pathologist wasn't sure either. I have since had an episode or two of pain that is similar to the initial. What should I do? What could this be?
