Is my symptom chronic appendix?

[JunL]

Hello.

I have a stinging pain in lower right side of abdominal(similar place where the appendix is) and the pain is appeared irregulary(especially when lying on my back).

I don't feel this pain in normal or during working somthing else but can feel it if I concentrate on the right-bottom side of the abdominal.
And when I lie on my back stretching two legs, stronger stinging pain is appeared easier, so it makes me can't sleep stretching two legs.
I have to bend my right knee to sleep avoiding pain(or lie on my side).


At first I thought that it might be a symptom of appendicitis, but it's not fully same with it because I have this symptom for a long time and the pain also seems to be not as strong as appendicitis
(I know of that the pain of appendicitis is so strong that it's impossible to suppress it above a week).
I have been having this symptom for 1 year and 6 month, and it didn't become worse nor better.
I am wondering what this is and why this symptom lasts till now without recovery.
I didn't receive medical examination yet, but have received medical counsel.
And doctor said(assumed),
"It is a symptom of connecting piece of the small intestines and large intestines, it is also the similar place where apenndix is.
Some people complain of the pain in that spot, and this symptom is appeared well to whom is working sitting on a chair for a long time."
It is right that I also spend much time sitting on a chair(+10 hours per day) but I'm still wondering if it is chronic appenicitis.


It is not a predictable pain so that I can't ready for it,
it just stings my stomach suddenly and sometimes the twinge reaches to the right foot.
It startles me and I just become nervous.

The symptom is appeared very easily when abdominal is relaxed(like when lying on my back for a long time).
More abdominal is relaxed, more the symptom is appeared.

I'm a male in my late 20s, body type is normal or slim, and I don't have trouble with diarrhea.
It's possible to say that I have a constipation because I use to have bowel movements every five days in average although there is no pain to do it.

Please give me some advice,
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
I felt relieved to read your reply saying it is unlikely a chronic appendicitis.
Of course it is not exact but helped me enough.
I'm trying to exercise yoga and to change dietry and sitting posture, etc.
Thanks.

But I'm still waiting for other replies, welcoming any advices.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I think it is unlikely that you have a chronic appendicitis, but I would recommend seeking out the opinion of a gastroenterologist.
