Appendix!!?

Question

ok, so my appendix area (The area between my belly button and my right hip) has been hurting since like Wednesday. Its on and off and is either a throbbing or sharp pain and doesn't last long. Like only 10 seconds or so. And its been getting worse every day. It hurts every time while I'm going to sit down and just randomly also. I have many of the symptoms of appendicitis but I think that it would hurt more than this. I also have nausea. And I have a headache and a stuffy nose.

I asked this in the health section also but I know that appendix related problems often happen in teenagers.

Answer 1

Today has been two weeks since my appendectomy. I really suggest you go to the doctor because it could be deadly if you wait too long. I was in a lot of pain and had pain in the exact same area and I had to have surgery. Please hurry and get to a good hospital or trama center. Good Luck and trust me you'll be okay after a few days. I had mine 2 weeks ago (a friday) and by monday  I could walk. Good luck and even if it is a cold (I doubt it) get it checked out anyway. You don't want it to be too late. Please HURRY.

Answer 6

well i got my appendix removed last year......the pain i felt was in one day and had to to ER the same day. the pain is HORRIBLE!!! it all began with me needing to throw up and feeling period-like cramps which increased to like times 50! i wasnt able to stand straight and could barely talk...i just wanted to roll up in a ball...its supposed to hurt on ur right side...but honestly the pain is so bad that it hurts everywhere near ur stomach! when i was throwing up i did get chills where i didnt know if i was hot or cold......u might not have appendicitis.....but it could be a cist...which i also had on my ovaries...they were the size of tennis balls and the same day i got pains i had the cists removed. the cists give a similar pain to appendicitis

Well, my mum got her appendix taken out recently. All I can tell you is, GO, now to the dr. Because prolonged appendicitis can hurt a lllloooottt. It should be located, yes, between your right hip and belly, but below. Try this, push, using your index and middle finger down at your appendix, does it hurt going down and up? If so, go to a ER, depending on the type you have, (most likely the one that requires antibiotics instead of surgery), the dr will treat you for it! good luckkk

Answer 9

I had similar symptoms in high school. - My right side would hurt on and off (where the appendix is), not bad enough to make me worry. It gradually got worse, but still never enough to make me worry. I thought it was gas.

Before, my side started hurting, I often had strep throat.

As it turned out. I ended up in the hospital, with a 50/50 chance of it being appendicitis. The hospital did blood work, and all the test come back neg. except one.

I had strep throat. My doctor explained, that in children and teens, strep throat can sometimes make it's 'home' in a person stomach, and cause pain, similar to appendicitis.

I was never nausea through this.

My friend, in High school, had to have an ovary removed. He side hurt, as a cyst the size of a grape fruit cut of the blood supple to her ovary, and had killed it.

There are many things it could  be. Some worse than others, and you need to make sure it's not life threating. You need to insist on going to the doctor. Tell your mom, you have been in pain for a few days, and you need to find out what is causing it. Don't take 'no' for an answer. Keep bothering your mom about it until she takes you.

Answer 11

I had my appendix out over my college spring break. I knew for 2 weeks in advance that I was gonna need surgery, but I didn't want to miss going to florida. It was very bearable up until the night before my surgery. I was on the beach, swimming, and laying out and walking plenty before it happened. But the night before I got sick and then that day I was in tons of pain and couldn't sleep. So I got up walked 4 miles (it helped with the pain) then went and got my appendix removed. It is best to catch it early so that there isn't as big of a risk. The surgery isn't bad...the worst part is probably the stuff they make you drink ahead of time (it made me puke :(  )

Answer 12

I've been to the doctors plenty of times for my appendix and have had ultrasounds done and they just say nothings wrong when i know something is.. so if the pain gets really bad go to the hospital, don't wait because if it bursts it can kill you. its like the smallest thing in you and it can cause so much pain, it sucks.. but just get your mom to take you to the doctors just to make sure everything is okay.. even if it is a cold maybe they can tell you something to take for the pain and the cold.
