Do i have appendicitis?

Question

i have pain in my lower abdomen on the right side

i have been feeling slightly neausious for the past two-three days

my b***s are tender and i am supposed to get my period in a couple of days so i am wondering if it is just cramps or appendicitis

Answer 1

You never know. When I got appendictis (I was 14) I also started my period at the same time, just a little after  the pain started in my belly so my mom and I initially assumed it was just cramps although I had never had menstrual cramps up to that point. I went through the entire night in awful pain and I could not lie down because it hurt to stretch out so I really got no sleep. I also threw up during the night. By the next morning the pain was in my right side and I had to go to the doctor. I was lucky- my math teacher got appendicitis a couple years later but his burst.

Have you had any other symptoms other than what you described? Anything resembling a fever? You mentioned being nauseous- did you ever vomit? You can't ever be too cautious- go to the doctor and get it checked just in case.

Answer 2

try walking while keeping your back straight if you can stay straight without holding your right side, it's just cramps

Answer 3

Oddly enough, appendicitis presents pain as a referred pain.  The pain is usually at your umbilicus or belly button. not in your abdomen on the right side of the abdomen where your appendix is.  Occasionally, pain is present in the right shoulder.  I know it sounds weird, because it is weird.  But it's the truth.

  Appendix pain in the lower right abdomen means that the appendix is ready to burst.  If you have a sudden fever in the next few days, go to the hospital immediately.  Hopefully, you'll start your period and all will be well.

  Good Luck.

Answer 4

with appendicitis the pain will move slowly from the right to left side( usually a few hours or more), but i would definitely get it checked out

Answer 5

Go to the ER and find out. People aren't as psychic as you think they are.

Answer 6

If you had appendicitis you would not be able to post this message on YA. You probably have cramps.
