So I had pain in my stomach last Weds, admitted into hospital Thurs, appendix removed Friday, back home Sunday and I'm in pain. The pain isn't really that bad, just annoying. The worst thing is I have a cough and it really does hurt when coughing!
The surgeon said it was "quite manky" and that I must have been in a lot of pain the few days before it was removed - Which I was!
I had some Tramadol in the hospital, that was quite a good drug.
Anyone had their appendix removed?

Nope, not yet. But I am too experiencing some fucking pain. I got a dental abscess and I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I feel ya brah. Drugs are the best.

Metronidazole antibiotic combined with codeine phosphate (or heavy loads of ibuprofen, like 2-3 pills at a time). And it still hurts. And I'm pretty much stoned.

They made a cut about 6 inches long. The surgeon said he had to make it a bit bigger because it was quite bad.
From a letter I have: "had an open appendectomy... Free fluids and pus were found intra abdominally. A necrotic appendix with a retrocaecal abscess was exicsed."

think that's bad? here's what i went through in 2007!
weekend somewhere in september: severe stomach pain, so i go to the doctor, she tells me its just food poinsoning, so i stock up on tea and zwieback
monday: still hurts, so i go to another doctor, he also tells me it's food poisoning, gives me some meds
monday evening: pain kinda goes away, i start calling friends and making plans for next few days since my boss gave me the week off
tuesday morning: i wake up because of a feeling resembling someone ripping open my belly with a chainsaw, turns out both doctors were idiots and my appendix ruptured overnight! (that's the tricky part with appendicitis, the pain goes away once the damn thing breaks and you start dying)
so...ambulance time! turns out my whole colon is fucked, kindeys too so multi organ failure right there, motherfucking sepsis is along for the ride too of course. 2x 5 hour surgeries within 3 days (~10 inch cuts), intensive care, and a whole lot of getting told in a really nice way that i should be dead by now + hallucinations, paranoia (because of insomnia, couldn't sleep at all with 10 tubes sticking out of my body), at least i had a good time thx to a shitload of morphine
few days later i manage to do a "test shit" (=colon finally working again), actually i shat a whopping 113 (yes i counted, had nothing better to do) times withing the next few days because of a weird mix between antibiotica allergy and that laxative they gave me to get my colon running, while bed-ridden of course so make that 114 bed-pan shits in total, they even put a male student nurse on standby just to scoop my shit TAKE THAT ROFL MAO
soon after that, i'm pain-free (asshole still hurting tho from the acidic colon juices), the grumpiest nurse in the world finally pulls the catheter out of my dick, that 15cm tube stuck in my aorta from my neck, stomach tube from my nose (got that one as a sort of revenge plot from the nurses on the second day cause i was uncontrollably puking over the bed all the time ) and various other tube crap from my belly and wrists. had to learn to walk again and most importantly, finally got my cellphone back, which was of course full of pissed off messages from friends and 2 dates because i never showed up to the stuff i had planned for my "work-free week". at least i had a good excuse this time
tl;dr: GOD HATES ME

These threads always makes you forget that only 7% of population gets appendicitis.

7% is a pretty big number.
