The following tests are usually used to make the diagnosis.

Have you had your appendix checked or removed? One of the signs of appendicitis actually is if the pain is BETTER when pressure is applied and worse when that pressure is removed.

Call your doctor or go to the hospital. Could be possible miscarriage or appendicitis or a gallbladder attack or something. No matter what it is, you need medical help!

I am assuming you mean raincastle, as I had my appendix out in 1987, so they knew it wasn't that.

Thank god it wasn't an appendicitis, I couldn't imagine putting at risk of surgery.... However, it's my gall bladder/ gall stones, this pain is unbearable.. I can't sleep & no work tmrw via dr orders..

I thought I had a stomach virus and had very bad cramps along with vomiting for a couple of days and went into the emergency room and found out that I was having a gallbladder attack. I spent a week in the hospital and had my gallbladder removed. Please urge her to seek medical attention.

I saw a doctor on Wednesday and he said its probably gallstones and not appendicitis at all...so I drank some apple juice and within a day the majority of the pain disappeared. But I still have slight pain where my appendix is, so I went to the doc again 2 days later and saw a different doctor who said that its not appendicitis and that its probably associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (ive had it since i was born practically).

Have you tried Prilosec or any of the new meds they have for these symptoms? I started the Prilosec and it took about 3 days but eventually I felt better. My best friend is actually going through the same thing right now and is trying to figure it out. She thinks she might have an MSG sensitivity as she feels the same way as you after she eats takeout.

I think appendicitis sometimes hurts in the right lower part of your abdomen, while gallbladder pain hurts on the right also, but it is usually a sharp grabbing sensation. Try not to panic. you will get to the bottom of it. Do you have an internal medicine doctor?

I was hospitalized on Friday night with sever pain to my right side the doctors have stated its either the start of appendicitis or a torn ligament. Awaiting test results. I'm on complete bed rest until I get the results if it is appendicitis what will they do and is there any chance it could hurt my baby. Also got the results of my last blood test which indicated my liver function was down.

If you had an appendicitis, you would have had an operation. The "severity" of an appendicitis doesn't change whether or not you would operate. What the results of your first CT scan probably mean, is that you had this incidental finding, and you never had any problem with your appendix in the first place. Anyways, that is in the past. However, antiobiotics kill off the good bacteria in your gut which can cause problems, which is why I recommend a probiotic.

Current literature supports the notion that the reproduction of symptoms with the CCK is the best predictor of symptom resolution following removal of the gallbladder. Most surgeons, however, would be reluctant to operate on these folks without an upper endoscopy first to rule out other UGI sources. It is unfortunate that most GI docs refuse to see patients in this age range.

Thursday, August 14 I was in so much pain that I broke down and went to the ER. The ER Dr. immediately thought gallbladder or appendicitis. Blood work showed a slightly raised white blood cell count. Ultrasound and xrays for gallbladder came back negative. CT gave me the answer that I was looking for....appendicitis. A few hours later and I was out of surgery. As far as the central stomach pains, I was told by the ER Dr. that appendicitis often causes central upper abdominal pain......

I have recently been experiencing right side pain and mentioned it to my GP. He sent me for a CT which confirmed mild appendicitis. Don't have typical appendicitis symptoms other than pain and some nausea. My doc says to get it taken out. I went for a consult with a general surgeon and he said he isn't 100% that's my appendix since I don't have all the acute symptoms. He said there is no such thing as chronic appendicitis and my doc says "oh yes there is". UGH...

Yesterday I started to notice that my right side was hurting really bad, the area of the pain is exactly 9 inches from the center of my belly button to the right. The size of the area with the pain is about the size of a fist, lol, maybe a little bit larger than that. It hurts really bad when I press on it, it's really tender. Yesterday and also today there has been time's when I thought I was going to vomit, but never actually did. My appetite isn't to grand but I have eaten.

Also, I would ask for a blood test to rule out appendicitis, sometimes this can be a sign of beginning appendicitis, you certainly do not want it to get worse.

This is just an update, it has been almost 3 weeks now since I have had my gallbladder removed. The pathology report showed that I had no stones, but a thickening of my gallbladder wall, aka inflammation, cause by cholesterol in the lining, what ever that means. The surgeon, after removing my gallbladder along with the dudium, said he also had to remove some scar tissue because the inflammation had gone on so long.

Yes, appendicitis came to my mind as well but so did the gallbladder. Did they check that? I'm sure they palpated his abdomen but may not have thought about the gallbladder. Sorry if we are absolutely no help to you. I hope they figure it out soon. But you are doing the right thing. You can't sit there and wait for the doctors, you need to do the research yourself. It sounds like mkh9 is doing some and I will try to as well. My best.

I have same symptoms and i was diagnosed with Appendicitis. They removed my appendix but the symptoms stays. The next diagnosis was my gallbladder not functioning properly. Now I'm on diet and decided to keep my GB as long as it doesn't bother me a lot.
