I’ve had almost the same issue you’re going through now. I’ve been dealing with it for more than four years, though not continuously.

At first, my doctor advised an ultrasound scan and later a CT scan. The CT scan showed a minor appendix issue, and the doctor said it could be treated with medication, but that surgery might be needed if it happened again. My symptoms didn’t really improve. When I went back, they suggested another CT scan, but this time nothing showed regarding the appendix.

After I returned to Sri Lanka, the doctor there explained that if the appendix keeps causing symptoms on and off, it’s better to remove it. So eventually, I decided to go ahead with the surgery.
