Appendicitis like pain One year after surgery

Well there's two things it could be. Starting with the less likely possibility, there's something called Cholecystitis which is an inflammation of the gallbladder due to gallstones. It usually affects men over 50 and post adolescent women. Women are more than twice as likely to get it than men. If i had to guess I'd say a 15 year old of any gender is 6 times less likely to get it than a man over fifty acquiring it in any given year. But it can happen. Though I think it's even less likely if you've already had an appendectomy in the last two years, statistically speaking.

The other possibility which I believe you are suffering from is, and I can't stress this enough, A LEGITIMATE disorder in which a person suffering from a chemical imbalance due to genetics or environment, develops pain, usually in an area of previous physical trauma. It occurs in the brain. It's called psychosomatic pain and It's a type of anxiety disorder. It does not mean you're crazy, and IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU JUST MADE up so YOUR DOCTOR IS AN IDIOT if he told you you were lying. What happens is your brain senses that it is not producing enough of a particular chemical that it uses to function properly, and it tries to alert you that there's something wrong. If the warning goes unheeded it intensifies the warning by causing a general pain feeling.

Other parts of your brain can then misinterpret this pain and try to pinpoint it's source eventually settling on a location of previous trauma, a logical deduction. Since all pain is perceived in the brain the brain decides where any pain comes from and then tells your consciousness where that is. Now that it "knows" where the pain is it sensitizes that area in order to guard against additional or accidental damage. Even though it already decided where the pain is, your brain continues to try and narrow it down, which is why the sensation moves around so much.

To sum up:

-you're not lying

-you're not crazy

-you have a legitimate medical problem that needs medication intervention

-talk to your doctor about SSRIs (he/she may be reluctant to prescribe them because of your age but I had a similar disorder at your age and they really helped me.) Get your parents some information on anxiety disorder and they'll convince the doctor for you.

I hope someone took you to the emergency department. Fever or in your case very low temperature can be first signs of sepsis. And there are loads of post op complications you can have years after surgery manifesting just as you described. any unexplained fever or hypothermia alongside with abdominal pain needs investigation. I

work as a registered nurse in ICU. I hope you got some help in time and that it did not develope into something more serious.
