Hi.
When was the appendix removed ?
You can not take buscopan immediately after appendix removal.
If it is more than a week you may take buscopan , but this indicates that you need to be seen by your operating surgeon as to why there is pain in abdomen.
The reason has to be found out as there should be no pain in abdomen after appendectomy operation.
Stop anything orally, you may need to undergo X-ray of the abdomen in the standing position to see any intestinal obstruction and ultrasonography.
