Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Co2 induced Right Diaphragm irritation with stretching,which is caused by the insufflated Co2,which takes 1 week or 2 and varies from person to person.
Thus You are perfectly right that the said pain is caused by insufflated Co2 Gas.
So there is no any complication of the Lap-Appendectomy surgery.And this would settle in 3-10 days time.
So Don't worry, things would settle gradually.
Second Opinion from your operating surgeon and Painkillers would help to recover from this.


Hope this would help you to reduce worry with your problem.
Take care and wish you to recover fast and Live healthy.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
