Post appendectomy pain

Hi, I had an appendectomy done when I was 8 years old. My appendix had already ruptured. I am now 22 years old and I have a dull pain in my lower right side. Could this be adhesions? I've had the pain for almost 4 years now. I recently had an endoscopy and colonoscopy and the doctor can not find anything. I think he hinted towards the next step being exploratory surgery. What's weird is that the pain seems to go all the way up to my stomach and when ever I eat I feel bloated. I press on the area where it hurts and sometimes I feel relief and it feels like movement through my intestine. I would appreciate anyone that might have an insight on what my problem could be. Thanks.
