Hello,
The pain usually common after appendicectomy. How you have undergone surgery? Is it laparoscopic appendicectomy or laparotomy? If it is laparotomy may cause pain at the site, it will take time to recover. Use a pain killer to control pain. Please consult your doctor he will check for other complications of appendectomy, and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
