Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If the appendix tip is elongated but not inflamed, there is no problem with the appendix. Your pain is due to the diverticulitis. Diverticula are out pouching of the large intestine and formation of finger like projections. When food enters the diverticula and gets infected, there is diverticulosis which causes pain. Small lymph node in right iliac fossa measuring 9 mm in size is not to be worried about. Please continue taking high fiber foods so that the chances of developing diverticulosis is less.

Hope this helps
