Does this sound like chronic appendicitis ?

I'm hoping someone could help me and stop me worrying so much ! For the past four months I have been getting pain in my right hip radiating towards the back , in the groin area and also down my leg , my hip feels like it locks at times and pops and it's then really painful I have been to the doctors and he said it sounds like its muscular and to come back if it got worse doing my own research online I think it sounds very similar to sciatica . However with the hip pain I have also had weird pains in tummy it's kind of a sharp pain that comes and goes it last from like 5 seconds to about 30 seconds I feel the pain on both the left and the right side but more on the right which is why I'm asking about appendicitis ! I suffer really badly with anxiety , OCD and also IBS and everytime I get the pain in my belly I go into complete panic mode and I have even worked myself up so much over the pain being appendicitis that I have had a panic attack ! I haven't had any of symptoms of appendicitis but I'm do scared ! I just wondered what you guys thought ! Sorry it's so long trying to explain myself as well as I can I'm hoping someone could help me and stop me worrying so much !

    Hi there, I'm 3 days post op after my appendix have been removed. I haven't been well for about 5 months. I don't know if out cases are the same but I suffer with displacier in both hips. However my right hip is my better one. I do limp from time to time but the last few months I've been terrible, also I've been plagued with a terrible lower back pain, groin pain and shooting pain down my right leg. I've visited the doctors loads and also the consultants to stress these problems. Because I have hip problems they assume this is what's wrong. However, since being doubled up in pain and hospitalised twice in 3 months they finally did blood tests and a CT scan which showed my appendix being in flamed. I'm hoping that this has been the root of all my problems.
