I have pain on my left abdomen (upper left waist to be exact), the pain is rebound tenderness. It started around December of 2009, so it’s already been with me for almost 5 month. The severity of the pain changes, from a scale of 1-10, is anywhere from 2-7.
My 9yr son just was in ER for right lower quad. pain,rebound tenderness, low grade fever, vomited x1, not wanting to eat very much. Initally thought was getting the stomach flu until he didn't persist with the vomiting or had diarrea. In ER Abdominal XRAY was done- results large amount of stool and gas on right side. Blood work checked- Mono and crp slightly evalated ( not enough for them to say appendicitis). they gave a popsicle to him that caused him to have increased painin RLQ.
No real rebound tenderness. If there is any pain when I press in, it is while I am pressing in and just a couple of seconds afterwards, but if there is no pain, there isn't really any rebound pain. No vomiting at all and no fever (I just got a 98.9 on my thermometer).
There's a strong possibility it's not appendicitis (typical to have rebound tenderness), though you might want to get it professionally ruled out with a doctor's physical examination, etc. and I believe they do a blood test to check for that too.
Without the bulge when you cough, it seems unlikely to be a hernia, but you mention lifting, so that doesn't rule out a muscle strain of some kind (a doctor might be able to determine this sort of thing with trained probing fingers).
Hi... usually appendcitis can be diagnosed clinically. It presents firstly as a generalized abdominal pains which later shifts to the right lower quadrant. Some physical exam findings which support its diagnosis includes rebound tenderness, orbturator's sign, psoas sign. You can also present with fever. If the doctor said it was not, probably he/she must have noted that you don't have an acute abdomen. And since you are a female, it can also be UTI.
I have a kidney stone problem(2-3 mm), 1 overian cyst and colonical tenderness in paraumbillical region.
Have a pain near right side of navel. Not able to recognize because of which problem I am having this type of pain. Is this because cyst,stone or colonical tenderness?
Please suggest.
Over the past two or three days I have had a slight discomfort in my right groin/side. I went to the doctor today, and after blood and urine came back normal, she said that I still might have appendicitis and said I might want to get a CT, though I don't show normal symptoms other than pain in my RLQ. The pain isn't constant and it isn't severe and hasn't really gotten any worse.
hi im really worried i have appendicitis, i had diarrhea for 3 days, and now after all of that my lower right and lower left sides have a dull, tenderness to them, its not severe pain but im worried it might become severe. the more i think and read abut it the more it hurts. above my belly button hurt when touched as well, i do not have a fever, and i have not been vomiting, but once in a while my stomach feels like there s a dull kick in those three areas.
About five months ago, I had lower right side pain that lasted a couple days, and after several tests (including CT), the doctor said all I had were swollen lymph nodes and after a series of antibiotics, I was fine (no appendicitis). Well, the pain is sort of back and it has been for a couple of days. The pain is not constant nor severe. It really is kind of a pressure-type pain for a couple of seconds and then dissipates.
I think I can rule out the possibility of appendicitis because I had no fever (temperature of no higher than 99.5°) I had no blood in my stool or urine, I did not feel dizzy, I also did not vomit constantly, and the majority of the pain has went away so far.
I haven't had a doctors checkup because my family can't afford it and I'm out of work so for now I am stuck guessing. Any suggestions?
It subsides after a couple of hours and there are no residual symptoms. No fever, etc. only very localized LRQ pain. It hurts to walk and I must sit down with great care, I have performed some of the tests for appendicitis such as lying supine with my right leg bent and pushing over to the left...this results in much pain. Having been an EMT for many years I understand this could be appendicitis, however, I am confused about the pain free lapses.
m worried about is after 1-2 of waking up I went to eat something but then started to feel a slight discomfort no major pain just something it was I went to do a quick google search and was seeing that's where my appendix is located didnt have pain near my belly button tho.
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.
I'm scared out of my mind that I have appendicitis but also I don't know whether it could be something psychological or a muscle pull. It's in my abdominal area, kind of lower but sometimes goes up and on the right hand side.
I've been passing gas a bit which relieves me a bit but the achy pain is still there.
I have no appetite because I feel so full all the time. It is almost as if there is a huge brick in my stomach. I have been trying to eat as much as I can everyday and when I do eat, it seems like the pain lightens up during a meal. However, a couple of hours before I eat and even a couple of hours after the pain becomes more intense. My bowel movements have not changed much. Sometimes I do have diarrhea and I go everyday but I am always seeing blood in the stool.
m still schedule to go in two days to check my pregnancy hormone and if it rises me n the baby will be good but if no change I will be kept under observation.....
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.
My MAJOR concern is appendicitis - as I know how important it is to get the appendix taken out before it bursts. Given that my pains are not concentrated in the right and not that intense, does it seem unlikely to ne appendicitis? Could appendix symptoms drag on this long (it's coming up for a week). The pain has got no worse and if anything seems to be improving. Also, would appendicitis symptoms usually go after eating a meal?
I'm extremely anxious and worried right now.
I recently had a CT scan which came back as negative for spleen, appendicitis, pancrease etc.... Ive also had several different blood and urine tests to look for infections, kidney stones and thyroid problems etc.. I did have a colonoscopy approx. 5 years ago which was fine and I had an endoscopy about 3 years ago. I do have acid reflux and in the past had hemmoroids, I'm otherwise very healthy and fit. There is a history of Diverticulitis in my family.
no tenderness in the abdomin when pressed, no elevated WBC, no elevated CRP - all my bloods were normal. They kept me in overnight for observation and for an ultasound scan. The next morning, I still had the pain but an ultrasound wasn't possible due to a huge backlog. I discharged myself.
From that day on, I experienced nausea, extreme loss of appetite (I didn't eat for four days) - everything I ate tasted horrible and made me feel sick, as did drinking water.
