Hi,
You have gone under many surgery and spasm plus flank pain clearly indicates appendix inflammation called as appendicitis. Other possibilities include renal stone.
Stone also cause flank pain and spasm. You can take tablet dicyclomine twice a day for relief of spasm pain. Get as early as a possible diagnosis and complete treatment for a specific cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
