Appendix Removed. Still Paining And Burning. Should I Worry?

I had my appendix removed 3 weeks ago, and I am still experiencing a lot of pain, inside where my appendix was. Burning and sharp pains. THis comes and goes, but as I work a full day on my feet, it tends to hurt a lot after work. Lately, it has really hurt after I urinate. nothing with my urine is unusual. ( no burning down there or odd smells.) It just kills my appendix area. Should I be concerned?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! I am not sure if any ultrasound or x ray was done before your appendix surgery or not. If not, then I would suggest you to visit your surgeon for a review, who may advise you for an ultrasound to exclude a right ureteric calculi which could give rise to symptoms similar to appendicitis. It not necessary to have any other urine abnormalities with it.
Wishing you an early recovery.
