I already had my appendix taken out is it possible they didnt take out the whole thing? And if so why is it acting up 2 years later?

it's also tender to touch, and very painful when walking

hard one indeed, the right one was removed 2 yrs. ago which caused the left side to carry on the job but at a much larger capacity. right now would be a perfect time to involve your doctor\specialist.some of us might be doctors,lawyersand therapist but none of us can really help you better than the one that deals with this on a normal dailey basis. you'll get better and when you do let us know that.

I think you "hit the nail on the head". Oftentimes the surgeon is drunk or hungover and leaves like half of the appendix still in there (and sometimes a tool too!). It happenned to me! The guy left about 1/4 of my appendix! He had to operate again but he still charged me. Can you believe that? I called him a "dick" and never paid his bill. Go back to your surgeon and ask him to make sure he got everything.
Thank you and good luck.

It all depends if you are female or not. Your liver and gallbladder sit on your right side which can have problems such as gallstones. Also you have part of your colon there as well. If you are female you might have an ovary cyst or some other problem. Dont forget there is a kidney there too, you could have kidney stones. My advice see a doctor and get an ultrasound and/or CT scan.
Good Luck :-)

It wouldn't be your appendix because they would have taken the whole thing out. Also from what I have heard when you have appendicitis it usually hurts on your left side.

It sounds like it might be your galadder or liver. Ask your doctor for an ultra sound or CAT scan to see what is happening.
It took my doctor forever to find that my galbladder was ready to explode. You also might have a kidney infection.
Best to check with your doctor and if the pain is beyond dealing with, get yourself to an ER apap

i agree with thewraith, if you are female it may be a cyst on your ovary hurts bad, but should quit within a couple of days if not then i would say it is somthing else, might should go to dr. sorry you are hurting
