If the pain is in the same general area as the appendix, but a little higher, almost like the top of where your liver is, and the pain shoots upto your shoulder, your back and into your groin, ask your doctor if you can have an ultra-sound. I had the 'It has to be the appendix' diagnosis for about 18 months.
The pain you experience could be anything from acid reflux, indigestion to Gall stones, and a hundred things in between...all of which have very very similar symptoms and make it incredibly difficult to diagnose.
I have just been through 8 years of stomach pain, so I really feel for you and hope that you get a diagnosis soon.
Hang in there
