Common Questions and Answers about Symptoms of appendicitis pain in the abdomen
appendicitis
For a few years, I have been experiencing GERD, abdomen swelling, diarreah, and painful cramps in my lower abdomen, symptoms which become more present after drinking. I get pain about an inch down from my belly button, and to the right. I also feel pain when I notice transit on my intestine, specifically in that area. This is incredible pain, ussually minutes before I will go to the bathroom, and have diarreah.
m a 19 year male college student, and I have had this problem for several years. At random moments, usually pretty rarely, I will get a sudden, sharp pain in the lower right area of my abdomen. It will cause me to panic for the brief second that it lasts (i'll clutch it etc..), because it feels really severe. It always goes away though, and since it's been a problem I've had for a long time, I don't really think it's a big issue.

Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have abdominal pain in the lower-right portion of your belly, or any other symptoms of appendicitis.
I had some breakfast and the nausea went away, although it came back later in the day. I took 5 tablets of ibuprofen throughout the day, so the pain was not always there but it was excruciating when it was.
Day 4:
Today. It has been four days since my symptoms started. I woke up today feeling less nauseous than I did the previous day, however I still felt a deep, constant pain above my belly button.
I never took the antibiotics. The next day the local GP said no appendicitis. After 15 days still the symptoms continued occasionally and a went to a Gastroenterologist who advised to take Taxim-O an antibiotic. I took it for 5 days. I took an ultrasound of the abdomen and the doctor said no appendicitis. But I pestered him with questions about my symptoms. He then took a screening CT in the lab and gave the report as Chronic appendicitis with 7mm thickness.
According to WebMD diagnosing appendicitis can be tricky:
"Symptoms of appendicitis are frequently vague or extremely similar to other ailments, including gallbladder problems, bladder or urinary tract infection, Crohn's disease, gastritis, intestinal infection, and ovary problems.
The following tests are usually used to make the diagnosis.
s, it might be worth checking out. Normally, the muscles in the wall of the stomach contract in a coordinated way to move food through the stomach into the small intestine. The autonomic nervous system controls this muscular action. Diabetes can damage the autonomic nerves. This is called diabetic autonomic neuropathy. As a result, the stomach loses it's coordinated muscular activity and doesn't empty the stomach properly.
ve been having this abdominal pain. She made me lie down on her table and pressed on the right side of my abdomen; I yelped out of pain. She said I might have appendicitis, and told us to go to the hospital to get a check up. We did, and they took blood tests and urine tests; It came out negative for appendicitis, but positive for UTI. The doctors gave me antibiotics for it, I took it religiously.
Now, I still have this reoccurring pain on my stomach and abdomen area.
Unless the area is swollen and severely infected the tenderness may be noted when the skin is palpated. The pain of appendicitis is severe and may be influenced by movement and certain positions.
I suggest immediate consult with your doctor.
The pain in appendicitis generally starts around the umbilicus and moves to the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. The other symptoms for Appendicitis are fever, nausea, vomiting and malaise. The other causes for pain could be urinary tract infection, pelvic infections, renal colic and sometimes bowel infections. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
Is your right sided pain sharp and grabbing or dull. And is it in the lower part of your abdomen down toward the groin, or higher up toward your rib cage. 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?
Is there any way I have chronic appendicitis that is coming and going? The pain is usually in the area of the appendix.
Also as a side note, I had right side testicular pain that started up around the same time the abdominal pain started years back. Not sure if this is related as the pains seem to happen usually at different intervals.
Lower side abdomen pain may be appendicitis, or a viral or bacterial infection of the lymph gland in that area. Lymph glands that are inflamed in the abdomen can mimic appendicitis. Swollen lymph glands in the abdomen is called Mesenteric Adenitis.
If the problem is caused by a bacterial infection your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic. You can also get a prescription from the doctor to treat your migraine headache if the doctor feels that's what it is.
I have this pain in the lower right region of my abdomen, Its not a pain in which I cannot walk but there is a pain there. I went to get blood work done because my cousin which is a Doctor wanted to rule out an appendicitis. The WBC count came back at 10.1 where the normal range for that laboratory I believe was from 5 to 10. My cousin said that is not significant enough to point towards appendicitis. My lymphocte percentage was low at 20.3 percent, and my mean platelet volume was also low 6.8.
Hello,
Going by your symptoms five possibilities are coming to my mind.Firstly,it can be pelvic inflammatory disease which can be caused by an infection of the pelvic organs.
As you are a female, so this possibility is high. It can also be due to fibroid uterus or torsion of ovarian cysts(already ruled out in your case). Ultrasound abdomen and cervical swabs are needed to rule them out.
Secondly, possibility of irritable bowel syndrome is also there.
The symptoms you have described are classic of appendicitis. It begins in the upper area of the abdomen and kind of moves around until it localizes in the lower right abdomen. The fever and dizziness is also indicative of appendicitis. If her abdomen stops hurting all of a sudden, RUSH her to the ER because that is a sign that the inflamed appendix has burst. Please let us know how she is!
