I have had several female surgeries leading up to a hysterectomy at the age of 27 I am now 55. When I was young I had ruptured appendix and got gangrene, causing all of my problems, such as scar tissue. I have lower abdominal pain on both sides, sometimes just one side at a time. It can affect walking, bad pain and I have an excessive amount of gas. Sometimes when the gas is passed it feels better for a while. The pain is very low, right above the crease on the very top of my leg. Any ideas you have would be helpful. Thanks
