What are symptoms of appendicitis?

Well. I have been agonizing if I might have just begun a journey to apendicitis. I went to the ER on Wednesday because the family doctor says it shouldn’t wait. They did blood and urine tests and nothing came up. No pregnancy no apendicitis that they could detect. I keep having this nagging pain in my right side of my lower abdomen. 2 inches below my belly button and to the right side. Any thoughts from those who have experienced this? Perhaps someone in the medical field can help?

Answer #1

you are welcome! I’m glad I could help =) If it does become unbearable then you can go to the doctor, like I said, it could just be a cyst.

Answer #2

Thanks katydid747 the doctor probably didn’t do the cat scan because he felt it wasn’t the appendix either. My pain has been mild not horrid. Your answer put me at ease though. Thanks sweetie. :)

Answer #3

Hmm… I think your appendix is more to the side than under the belly button. My aunt just got her appendix taken out and they didn’t do a blood test they went did a cat scan to make sure it was her appendix. She was up all night with severe pain and finally went to the ER. Usually doctors can detect whether or not it is appendicitis when you tell him how you feel and by examining the abdomen. But then again, some doctors make a mistake. You might just try going to the ER again, maybe a different on? If it has been more than a couple of days its probably not your appendix because it probably would have burst by now. You might have a cyst on your ovary? if its below your belly button.
