d been suffering from a fever, lower/midline abdominal pain on my right side, and severe diarrhea for several days, and was told by my doctor to go to the ER to rule out appendicitis. Besides my signs/symptoms, the only abnormal finding was a slightly enlarged appendix in the ultrasound and CT. I was told to keep an eye out for things, and to go back asap if things got worse- which they likely would within a reasonably short amount of time.
I have been to the doctors for tests for appendicitis when I had severe pain in my lower abdomen. They ran a few tests, try these
Raise one leg at a time, keep the other flat, if you get pain in the lower right area you are more likely to have appendicitis.
The best test for it is to push down hard on the area of pain, if you get severepain when you let go, that is bad and I recommend you visit your doctor.
I had summer school of course and I walk to and from there and when I got home inplayed the computer for an 1hr or 2 then once I got off my side started to hurt out of the blue and It felt like im on my period andnim not because I just had it and gone with it two weeks ago and right now immlaying down and when I type my symptoms in google still says early signs of pregnancy, endometriosis, cervical cancer, lastly ovulating so I dont whats wrong and my mom dont know what wrong so have any of
Usually lower abdominal pain on ur rt side is ur appendix. Look up signs and symptoms of appendicitis online to make sure. Is it sharp pains?
From what I understand you usually have pain starting near the belly button and it moves the right side. You usually will have nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, fever, and chills.
Were you able to be seen by a doctor for the pain since you posted? How are you doing now?
If by chance you were actually able to figure out that your pain was from an inflammed appendix your delay in seeking medical attention would have resulted in the appendix becoming gangrenous and perforating usully after about 4 hours of symptoms. I agee that, in the absence of other signs / symptoms of an inflammatory process simple constipation would be the most likely diagnosis.
My son had sudden onset symptoms causing a STAT CT scan to rule out Appendicitis. It did rule it out.
They found Mesenteric Lymphadenitis present.
No infection has been found in the blood stream, in fact only signs of inflammation. Other test are being run by Pediatrician, but still await results.
4 % of body weight loss in the past week.
The pain just doesn't seem to want to subside.
Do you have any thoughts on how I can be more proactive to help him??
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.
Exactly 4 weeks later I developed appendicitis and had it removed via laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon said it was "messy in there". I have had no other symptoms suggestive of HIV.
My concern is the appendicitis was due to lymphoid hyperplasia (swollen lymph tissue) caused from a viral infection (HIV) given it occurred so soon after exposure.
It seems a bit out there to consider them related however I do see it as a possibility, but was unable to find any studies to confirm.
During the first episode, the pain was so bad he could not walk. They suspected appendicitis, but an ultrasound turned up nothing and surgeon determined it was not appendicitis. During each episode, the inflammation markers in his blood rise (ESR 20, CRP 67), but then fall to normal levels after the episode ends. An X-ray showed nothing.
t have any acute episode and there is no such Chronic appendicitis. Months passed and now almost six months with symptoms on and off at right lower abdomen as described above. I can feel discomfort while wearing tight pants and belts moving legs in awkward positions etc( but not always). I went to a new Gastroenterologist who i visited for 3 times was not convinced with appendicitis. But as my symtomps continued (mildly) he advised Contrast enhanced CT which the previous gastro advised.
showed that I had borderline appendicitis due to the appendicitis not filling with the contrast fully and the mesenteric lymph nodes of the area being “shoddy”. I was given Cipro and Flagyl for two weeks to see if that would fight the infection. After an ultrasound, they found my appendix healed completely. While the yellow explosive diarrhea has returned to coming 2-3 times/week (rather than the daily occurances) the pain in my lower right abdomen and back continued at the same intensity.
I have all if the appendicitis symptoms ( bloating, diarrhea, constipation, severe abdominal pain followed by vomiting) but aren't these all pregnancy things to? I'm 41/2 weeks.
As soon as she left the bedside, I told my ex I still thought it was appendicitis. The surgeon got there and heard the story, saw the white count, and examined him. He said it was gangrenous appendicitis and started an IV. Then after 6 hours or something he took out his appendix.
So yeah, it can be confusing sometimes. The thing they most often confuse it with is diverticulitis. That can be even worse than appendicitis though.
Hi,
About a month or two ago, I believe I had strained some muscles while working out. The pain didn't happen right away maybe one or two weeks afterwards. At first it stemmed from my neck, shoulders, and upper back. Soon after I started to feel pain in my chest, both sides right by my armpits, lower back, and abdomen area especially on my right side. The pain is usually sharp. When I do sit for a long period of time, both my right and left sides hurt but more on my right.
What are signs and symptoms of Final Stages of Ovarian Cancer? My mother has a very distended belly, gas build up and pain in her back and also bowel area. She has a G-tube that drains additional gastric fluid, we are giving her zofran for nausea, but seems more uncomfortable the last few days and I am suppposed to return home for 3 weeks, but am hesitating to leave.
