appendicitis

Avatar f tn The last couple days I have had a light uncomfortable kind of pain on my left side inbetween my hip and belly button, it feels as though my bladder is "full" when ever I go to the toilet... and it doesn't seem to relieve itself... is there something wrong? Is their something with my kidneys?
Avatar n tn hi i recently had my gall bladder taken out and got immediate relief for about 1 month of symptoms but now i have pain in my upper left side radiating down to my left side and i have indegestion and some nausea again. it is almost like my gall bladder was never taken out. i had the light ran down my throat and into my stomach at the time of surgery with no ulcers or sign of any problems. what could this be now? what is the sign of appendicits?

231441 tn?1333892766 I have the same weird sense on the left side of my belly button butt kinda lower like above my hip bone.. i get it alot.. sometimes more than others but have felt it for years since I lost my daughter 2 years ago in 2008 (she was a still born). Dr's told me it was phantom movement but I can't see it still happening 2 years later. The dr sent me to have a pelvic exam where they use a probe to look at insides by putting it inside..
Avatar f tn Left lower quadrant pain cannot be due to appendicitis as this is on right side. Either your son has swallowed the nose bleed and that is causing problems or there is a gut pathology such as IBS or Crohn’s or even celiac disease or lactose intolerance. The cause of nose bleed must be found out. It could just be heat or overactivity or bumping head or nose. Else it could be nasal polyp, a tumor, a foreign body or even allergic rhinitis. Please take your son to his pediatrician without delay.
Avatar n tn Then the pain gets very sharp and spreads to the left side and lower left of the back, i get hit by a sudden feeling of weakness and have to lie down. What are the possible causes of this pain, and could it be linked to my other symptoms? p.s. i am fully aware that this is not a diagnosis, it is just to know wether or not i should get this checked by my GP. p.p.s i am male, 20, 5ft 10", and weigh 10 1/2 stone and otherwise healthy.
Avatar f tn Im getting ready to head off to bed, laying on my left side as usual... and all of a sudden I have this SHARP pain on my right side. Right/diagonally above my hip. Im 12 weeks pregnant with twins. I have tried moving my body pillow and blankets to position myself more comfortably... but can still feel it. Pain at first was a 6/7 (small pain1-10being horrible ).. now positioned its at a 2 then a 6/7 again. Kinda like off and on... Should I be worried?
Avatar m tn Around almost 3 years ago now I suddenly had an onset of left side abdominal pain, just left of the bellybutton. It would usually start up at night and not let up for a couple days at the least. I was tested with an upper endoscopy and upper GI series, both were normal. The pain persisted so I got a CT scan as well as an MRI done and a colonoscopy. and loads of blood work. Again everything came back normal.
Avatar f tn Did a CT scan 1 month ago, it revealed an ovarian cyst of 3.5 cm on my right and a 5 cm one on my left. The pain on my right is persistent and the symptoms are really bad for such a small cyst. My gynecologist didn't give me many explanations, so I've searched for my simptoms online. This way I found out about stump appendicitis and I got mortified it could be that. Could the CT scan have missed it? All the other organs seemed fine.
Avatar f tn Yesterday I woke for work and sat on the couch. Noticed mild pain in my lower left side to bend over or take a deep breath, even take a long stride with my right leg. Went to the ER to have it checked out. They did a blood test and a urine test. Nothing unusual they said. Proceeded to do a CT scan, in which they said the results were normal. Nurse followed up by telling me to take miraLAX because I was just backed up.
Avatar f tn i am 33 weeks pregnant and i am experiencing a severe pain in my uper left side of my stomach and its very tender like if yhu rub your hand across it it will hurt an i cant lay on my lsft side at all an it hurts wen i raise up or try and change sides an it even hurts when i sneeze and cough and i hav a bit ov a cold so i hav ben doing alot of that.
Avatar m tn If you took plan B on the last day of your period and that was 12/25 then I would say that you are having side effects of the plan B pill itself. Several other members have reported severe, painful cramps around the ovaries and lower abdomen, back cramps, and you will probably start a "period" again in a few days. That is usually a side effect also. An appendix is usually on the right side of your stomach and you will usually run a high fever with appendicitis.
Avatar m tn They bite into the gut wall when they grow or mate, and can lead to appendicitis on the long term. the pain is usually right or left or even underneath the belly button, and feels like a pinch with a needle or, if more severe, a hot knife. Get a scotch tape test done, best in the week after full moon (they are more active then). Good luck.
Avatar f tn I was having left side generic pain for like 6 months last year, which is why I had a CT scan and colonoscopy last year. The pain was much different then, a dull ache on my upper left side that would come and go but be present almost every day. It wasn’t painful to press on my stomach anywhere. And I think the colonoscopy prep gave my body a good cleanse and helped it heal. This was much different. More acute in nature.
782550 tn?1333484257 I am feeling a pain in a location i am not used to. my lower abdomen on the left side has been killing me for the past two days. I have had daily BM's but not as comfortable or as frequent as usual. So I assumed I was a bit dehydrated or maybe constipated. But I'm not sure anymore.
Avatar m tn t seem to be a consistent thing that causes the pain (again the pain is mostly in the groin and right on the side) how much of that is a chance at appendicitis? I've had two CT Scans in the past year and would really prefer not getting another one if at all possible (after all, the last two showed nothing, and I'm sick of spending that much money and subjecting myself to that much radiation without something serious being found).
Avatar n tn s my right side - nothing passes through there, right, or does it? It just ends in the appendicitis, the left side is the one that goes through. I've also had bad posture this week, I sit down in feutal position a lot because it makes me comfortable so maybe that's why my intestines are being weird or maybe it has something to do with the "blockage".
Avatar n tn I know this post is REALLY old, but it came up in a search. I am having the same problem you did, Natalie. I've had abdominal pain for a week now and thinking I had appendicitis, went into the emergency room earlier this week, only to have them say I was fine and send me home. The doctor did say I had a "fat" appendix. Anyway, the pain on the right subsided slightly and, starting yesterday, I had the same pain but worse on the left side.
Avatar f tn Lower abdominal (slightly above my right leg/below my belly button. Only on my right side.) Pain how to releave it and sleep comfortably.
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor and he said it is probably related to the PCOS. He has me on Metformin along with my Victoza. I hope it goes away soon. However, just today I realized I have my second kidney stone.
Avatar f tn He told me that if the pain persisted, within two days, I should return to the clinic or to the ER, on account of it could be appendicitis. I am eighteen years old, broke, and under the care of my parents who refuse to return me to any doctor. I doubt I have appendicitis on account of my stomach has had pain for at least a week, and there's been no sign of any rupture.
Avatar f tn Now the next day my lower right stomach is pretty tender, nowhere else, just lower right side. Should I be worried about appendicitis? Could it be tender from extreme gas and bloating? Thoughts?
Avatar f tn Last night I started having a dull pain on the right side of my abdomen, across from my belly button, it went away today but came back around lunch time. It went away again and now at 2am it has come back. I pressed on my stomach a bit and it send a shooting pain through my belly button area. Its not SUPER painful, just more of a discomfort. I've also started urinating WAY more in the past hour and I'm not sure if its related but my knees began aching REALLY bad out of nowhere.
Avatar f tn Im 10 weeks pregnant and got my appendix removed yesterday (saturday) they told me about the risks with the anastesia and baby, but they also told me that if i left it in and it ruptured id lose baby for sure. Anyone else have their appendix removed and had a perfectly healthy baby?
Avatar m tn I have this recurring pain on my left side from the narrowest part of my waist to my low abdomen. In December it was really bad and I went to the ER. They did an ultrasound and said the pain was caused by ovarian cysts. That part wasn't surprising because I've had them before, but it surprised me that the pain could radiate so far up my side. Has anyone else had this?
Avatar f tn I have been having intermittent bouts of description would be a dull needle like feeling mostly right of my belly button say 2 inches beside maybe and on the less often bouts that pain can be feeling on the left side same distance from my belly button that does seem to hurt much more if it happens on that left side but it almost always occurs to the, right side, with this and or without this pain kind of best described to be like a dull knitting needle pressing into something deep, I have many t
