Right quadrant pain to the right of the belly button. Dull pain for couple days, little stronger now.
I am a veteran last Thursday was brought to an outside VA ER for lower right quadrant stomach pain. They did lab work everything okay my WBC was 10.29 no fever. They did an Ultrasound which was highly susceptible for appendicitis it showed that it was not compressable, had minimal hypermiea, I was very tender and showed top normally enlarged.
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.
when he means redness at the opening, he is saying basicly stoll can get stuck at the opening of the apendics causeing inflamation and then the stoll may release, and not harm the apendics anymore, its vary difficult to diagnose problems like that, the best thing to do is if your having alot of pain there and you cant walk, lay on your back and have someone hit the base of your foot and if you get pain in your stomach from that, there is a good chance you have appendicitis, but you would get rea
There are numerous causes of right lower quadrant abdominal pain, of varying levels of severity. These include appendicitis, mesenteric adenitis, ileitis (e.g., Crohn's), colitis, kidney stones, kidney infection, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cyst, ovarian torsion, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, hernia, and/or cancer. You should see your doctor, as proper diagnosis depends upon clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory and/or imaging tests.
There are various causes of right lower quadrant abdominal pain, including but not limited to appendicitis, IBS/IBD, kidney/ureteral stone, bladder infection, and hernia, as well as female-specific conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, ovarian cyst, ovarian torsion, and ectopic pregnancy. Making the correct diagnosis requires a combination of clinical history and physical examination, as well as laboratory and imaging tests.
i have pain in my right groin and right lower quadrant, i have already done appendicitis operation 8 yrs ago soi think its because of masturbation and how can i get relief from it
My question is. I get pains in the upper left quadrant of my abdomen. I have contact nausea and slight unsteadiness. I have had a CT of my head and a ECG of my heart to rule out anything extremely serious.
At times the nausea gets soo bad i feel like i may faint.
Also the pains in my abdomen seem to get worse when i eat or after a night out drinking.
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. I live in the middle of no where with poor hospitals about 2 and a half hours away.
I would strongly recommend seeing a physician rather than wasting time in an internet forum. One possibility would be your gallbladder but appendicitis would also be likely. A three day delay in seeking medical attention would usually result in perforation.
I have lower and middle left quadrant pain sensitive to touch its hot and hurt when sudden moves and I walk like I am doubled over - like appendicitis but not - feel nausea no vomiting very tired muscles ache doesn't hurt when I just lay in one spot and rest or sleep.
Using the nipple as the reference point for the midline of the breast, a cluster of calcifications may shift above or below the midline when viewed from the true lateral (side) mammogram vs the craniocaudral (viewed from above) mammagram. In other words, the cluster of calcifications may appear above or below the midline of the breast depending upon the direction of compression during a mammogram.
There is no test to prove chronic appendicitis. Some of the symptoms are lower right quadrant pain, sometimes it's sharp, sometimes it dull, bloating mucus in stool, pain with or after intercourse, trapped gas or stool in the appendix area will double you over. WBC's will be somewhere from 9-11, not high enough to indicate an acute form of appendicitis but a chronic form of it.
the distal appendix is bordeline prominent diameter, 6mm and does not fill with oral contrast. These findings are equivocal for appendicitis. Shoddy right lower quadrant mesenteric lymph nodeds noted."
yet the surgeon didnt think it was SEVERE enough to operate. then the ultrasound (after the Cipro and Flagyl) says
"The appendix is seen in the right lower quadrant, measures no more than 3 mm in thickness, is not hypervascular, and appears compresable.
HI,
Right lower quadrant pain can be due to ovarian cyst or appendicitis. The intermittent nature of the pain is typical of appendicitis. However it can also be found when the ovarian cyst undergoes torsion. The fever suggests the possibility of infection. Hence it would be best to see your Doctor again. Once a correct diagnosis is made the appropriate treatment can be initiated.
The answer is based on information provided.
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.
Until I can get an answer from a Radiologist I'll throw this question out for discussion.

Your appendix may hurt initially around the belly button. But then the pain moves to the lower right quadrant. When you press on your stomach if it's constipation it will hurt when you press... if it hurts more when you let go, it's usually the appendix.
There usually is fever, chills and nausea with appendicitis - not necessarily with constipation.
But extreme constipation can also be life threatening. See a doctor.
The pain may not be related to the liver. Pain in the lower right quadrant can be due to appendicitis. The other symptoms for Appendicitis are fever, nausea, vomiting and malaise. It may not be picked up by imaging modalities. The other causes for pain could be urinary tract infection, renal colic and sometimes bowel infections. It could also be due to diverticulitis, Chron's disease, ulcerative colitis and parasitic infections.
Hi,
I have had a sharp pains under my right rib (seems to be under the last rib) for many years now. It always went away fairly quickly, so I never worried about it too much. I used to find relief if I held my breath and rolled over on my right side (the side that hurts). However, lately the pain has been for days at a time and nothing helps. During the worst times, it hurts to breath in at all, I can't move my right arm or rotate. I can't sleep on my side and am in constant pain.
