Appendicitis! Get her to a doctor! Please!

On the one hand, if you've got the flu, you're sick and will be sick until you aren't sick anymore. On the other, if you're concerned, a doctor would be much more valuable to you than us. If it were appendicitis, I'd think the pain would be a whole lot more than what you're describing, but if you really think you ever do have that go directly to a doctor, not to a website.

Been dizzy and tired a lot. No rebound pain like appendicitis. But it does hurt to press on. Should I go to ER? I don't have insurance. My OBGYN wants to be paid up front for an ultra sound and I can't afford it. What could it be and what should I do? I'm 30 yrs old with a 2 1/2 yr old and a 5 month old. Miserable and tired of hurting. Also, my periods bleed more but don't hurt any worse.

The point we are making is that you are not stating your symptoms accurately. You have made an assumption as to what is causing the pain which is not possible without appropriate studies. Appendicitis isone of hundreds of things that can cause pain in the abdomen. The statement that your appendix feels like it getting bigger doesn't make sense. It is possible to have pain originating from the appendix without true appendicitis.

m not vomiting now but the pain is so bad and it even hurts to breathe in or cough or move...is this appendicitis or something serious..?? It didn't start around my naval it started in my sides/flank area and more intesified right side of abdominal area...

6 is is complaining of abdominal pain around his belly button. He is very lethargic and he will not eat. He is not voiding as much. What could be wrong with him. There is no diarrhea or vomiting.

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. I don't drink or smoke or do that stuff even prior to being pregnant it was very rarely I'd drink. What could be causing this? I know no one is a dr but it's 2 days before results are in and I'm so worried.

I am still worried because of the pain I am feeling whenever I eat or after I go to the bathroom. Another weird thing is that I feel like I have to go and when I sit down it does come out unless I open my rectum with my finger. This is so not normal, can anyone help me find what wrong???

I took plan B on the last day of my period which was december 25th and starting on the 29th i had soreness in what seems like right above the ovaries, a pain on each side of my abdomen. I also have this pulsating around my belly button and it will shoot down to the right side then give me back pain. I also have headaches and have gotten easily hot and overheated during the night. I know im not pregnant because ive testes and JUST came off my period and it was normal. Could this be my apendix?

About 11:30, my lower right abdomen started sharp, long lasting pains. Almost like labor. I took two Aleve and no relief. About 2:30 i took two more and was finally able to doze some starting at 3:00. Mow it is 6:00 and I'm still in have pain. My right leg started hurting/be mumbish, m right hip and my right lower back is also in pain. I have not vomited or had diarrhea nor do I have a fever. Do I have appendicitis or is it just gas?

Appendicitis is not always easy to diagnose. Describe how the symptoms came on. When my ex got sick one day while I was at work, he called me. He described abdominal pain that sounded like it could be gas or early appendicitis. I told him to take Gas-Ex and lie down. When I got home, he still had the pain, even lying down. I pressed on his abdomen and he had more pain. Didn't really know what I was doing, but just gently pressed around and he moaned.

4 days ago i got severe lower stomach pain that lasted a few hours along with vomiting diarrhea and cold sweats then got so cold i was shaking but since then i have this dull pain in my stomach were my belly button is it actually feels like a rock is in there most of the time if i move it hurts more and it even feels sore to touch that part of my stomach sometimes standing if i stand up to long i feel i will faint does any one know if this is normal ad what could it be :(

If one of my patients developed these symptoms for this period, I would definitely order a CT scan to answer what is causing your pain. If one of my patients had similar symptoms I would also evaluate them for nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and inflammatory bowel disease. Ask your physician about basic blood work (CBC and comprehensive metabolic profile), urinalysis, and most importantly a CT scan (94% sensitive and 95% specific for diagnosis of appendicitis. Very Respectfully, Dr.

you need to get to the er abdominla pain is nothing to play around with this is very serious and should be taken care of asap

That will give them a better idea of what is going on. No one can know for sure what is going on, but that will give them a better idea.

As far as I know, the most apparent symptom of appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is a dull pain in the stomach on the right side, that moves to severe lower right abdominal pain. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/digestive-diseases-appendicitis The above website explains different symptoms that could accompany appendicitis.

If you do have appendicitis (especially acute appendicitis) then if this is untreated there is a chance that the appendix will rupture causing peritonitis which is dangerous and can be life threatening. I suggest that you go quickly to your Emergency/accident department and ask them either to rule out appendicitis - or else confirm it and carry out the necessary operation.

Oh yeh the pain sometimes is just a sharp shooting pain. it's not ongoing. I feel it more when I'm gettingup from sitting down or when I'm trying to sit. Today I laid on myback and relaxed my abdomenal area and pressed the area that hurt and a pain shot towards my right side of my chest and down towards my rectum.

First, you do not say what side the pain is on. It makes a difference as the spleen is on the left, appendix, gallbladder and liver are on the right. Appendicitis can hurt on the right lower quadrant or right around the belly button. Your gallbladder can hurt below the ribs on the right and the pain can go through to the back and up to the shoulder. Can be intense or uncomfortable. If the pain is on the left and your spleen is affected, it could be a symptom of Mono.

MRIs are not adequate for appendicitis. The white count in appendicitis is generally high. You also get a fever, but appendicitis can start near the belly button then move to the right lower side. I think you should get her to a specialist and or get her to a doctor who will take her blood counts and possibly a CAT scan because it is dangerous if it bursts.
