Three weeks as of today, and it still hurts. Is this normal? Two of the laproscopic incisions are fine, but I still feel deep inside where they took the appendix out.

Good question, and the sort of stuff they never tell you. Yes, I had twinges at the internal surgical site for more than six months after.

Just like when the doc removes an intestinal pylop during a colonoscopy. You will have episodes of pain for six months or more afterward. 
Someday, chi1dren, this entire fuck-up will be yours.

Always ask questions - if you're still in pain, mention it to the doctor and where it hurts, to hear it from the horses mouth whether it's normal or not. Cover all your bases.
