Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms XXXXXXX
Laparoscopic appendectomy is unlikely to cause such symptoms. If sometimes the port site is close to inguinal region, affection of illio-inguinal nerve can cause such symptoms .
It woud be very helpful if you could provide following additional information
1. Is there any swelling in the thigh
2. Is there redness in thigh?
3. Is the pain aggravated by movements of limb?
Local application of hot water fomentation along with painkillers will be helpful
Awaiting your reply
Take Care
