and appendicitis?

seriously.

something is going on here.

One can kill you.

not burst appendix

just swollen and hurts to sneeze or cough.

dead serous...any md advice here will help...I don't want to go to the hospital.

Location, location and location.

Plus, rebound pain.

left side, right under my lower ribs.

extreme pain if I sneeze or cought....like a knife into my side.

Never had appendicitis but I did have a kidney stone. It started as a dull pain and got worse and worse. I thought it was lower back pain that would go away at first. One of the most painful things I've ever experienced though. Good luck either way.

Is there pain running down your leg?

I had the same problem about 2 years ago, Dr. didn't know what it was. It wasn't appendicitis, it wasn't kidney stone. It went away after awhile. That was the worst pain I've had in my life and I still don't know wtf it was.

yes.

the most problem is if I laught, sneeze, or god for bid, cought.

it feels like something is tearing the tissue in my stomach up from the inside.

I hope it is some infection I can treat with anti= biotics, but this is getting worse.

If there is pain going down your leg you should probably see the doctor. That was the one symptom I didn't have when the doctor thought I had appendicitis.

Your appendix is on your right side, not your left..

Are you able to stand up straight without being in pain?

My buddy got his appendix removed, his scars are on the left side of his body.

And if you think you have appendicitis, go directly to the doctor or hospital. If it is that, it may not have burst yet, but if it does you're in a whole world of screwed.

Tackle yourself. Sammy's right. You're losing it, amigo.

****kkin' rent a movie, hit a wounded split-tail at some restaurant/bar, and wind down the computer.

I have had an appendectomy. Scar is on the right side.

This is an anterior view:

Yes, in fact standing up feels better.

Blood pressure 158/102
Pulse 112

My family Dr. attributed that to the pain.


I just don't want to drive and hour and a half to an ER, sit there until 8 am and be told that I have indigestion.

Take some sugar pills. You'll be fine.

^^^^^^

Lea got you that worked up, huh?

prolly Nephroptosis

hth

no, I am knocking down a vodka tonic and 3mgs of xanax and calling it a night.

if I can make it back into town tomorrow and this is this bad, I will sit it out in a fn'n emergency room.

if any real MD's read this and have advise, please chime in.

this sucks.

Dude,don't eff around if you think it's bad.

Trust me. I am one to wait until the last second to go in and it almost cost me this last time.

Wolf that cried internet.

Like some have stated, appendicitis will have rebound pain, so it will hurt just as you release tension as when you are actually applying pressure. Also the obvious stuff like ever, vomiting, etc.

Also, with appendicitis, the pain will actually run in the middle part of your abdomen about 8-10 or so inches from your junk. That is the area you would be feeling the most pain.

Hope all is well.

no, this is the definite left side of my abdomen right under my ribs.

glad it is not appendicitis

it still hurts like a mother ***er.

My theory is the Rwilson gave you an ulcer.

you either have to crap or you have the aids

YEAH, THIS IS REAL FUNNY.

I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE XANAX AND BOOZE TO HIT, BUT, THIS SHJT IS SERIUOUS.

IF I COULD CRAP AND THIS WOULD GO AWAY, I WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE BATHROOM.

seriously, sounds like what happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

I woke up an stomach felt like sh**. Felt bad at night too. I went to the HEB with my son and my Dad and it just kept building up. My back hurt from my shoulders to my waist. Felt like my organs were going to implode. It was so bad that when we were paying for groceries I had to hold on to the cart and lean forward and couldn't talk. Had no idea what was up.

Got home and took three Gas X pills. Pain subsided over several hours. I think I sh** several times that afternoon. Hasn't happened since knock on wood.

If it happens again I am going in. It was so painful it was starting to scare the crap out of me.

Maybe you should take a eight foot chain, Urbab, wrap a couple of links around your wrist, and beat yourself in the face with the remaindind slack.

Maybe you should be thankful your skank mother realized she could get a bigger welfare check by not aborting you like she did the first seven unplanned gang-bang pregnancies and instead having a baby out of wedlock with Jimmy "catfish" Gerky who had a hell of single wide located in trailer park behind the Shallow Water, TX Walmart?

Appendix right side, not left.

It can be on the left side. Some condition where your organs are mirrored. Not common though. The one thing I remember from biology.
