Sharp pain where my appendix was

Hi. I had my appendix removed in July 2006 and I'm still in pain. First the pain was dull and felt like it was under my right rib. Some doctors thought it was my gallbladder while one thought the possibility of scar tissue. I've had blood work done, came back normal, a CT scan which found sludge in my gallbladder, and a sonogram yesterday that didn't see anything. I went to the hospital yesterday and had a camera shoved down my esophagus to look at my stomach, only to find some erosion in the stomach that could be from me worrying about this pain, but they're so small that it couldn't be that. After I had that done I got this sharp pain where my scar is where I got my appendix out and hurts when I take a deep breath, cough, and laugh. I've seen 4 doctors and the fourth one is running out of options. Any opinions?

Hi I'm having a strange bubbling sensation at the site of the incision and sometimes it seriously hurts. Also today I felt as if it was leaking on the inside of my body after a slight ripping sensation which felt near the incision. Does anyone have any suggestions?
