Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history And understood your concerns.
The causes I can think of as a reason of pain at the appendix removed area can be :
Ureteric stone
Typhlitis means colitis
Lymph node inflammation.
Diverticulitis.
But you are also giving history of pain in left leg which can be due to a problem of lower spine which needs MRI of the spine .
CT scan of abdomen can help you the best.
Treatment will obviously be based on clinical findings and investigations.
