I was diagnosed with mild appendicitis in November 2017 and one week after (tried antibiotics first) I had the surgery (laparoscopic) surgery went well and almost no pain after the surgery! 2/3 weeks after the surgery until now I have had mild & sometimes severe pain!

I can go days without any pain then it will hit me randomly and sometimes stay for days. I had a CT scan, showed nothing. Then a colonoscopy which I found out I have a twisted colon, but since my stomach and digestion is OK they told me not to worry..

The camera got about 50cm into my intestine before I screamed in pain, they tried twice to no avail and told me it was twisted. I do not get any stomach pains & they told me my 50cm of intestine is clean. The follow up with the Dr, he informed me to come back in 2/3 months if I still have pain and possible colonoscopy under GA or maybe an endoscopy.

But now, I am even starting to have rectal pain which may sound crazy but I am just wondering if all of this is linked somehow...?
