Could this be my appendix?

It does not hurt when i stay still or stand or sit.

It ONLY hurts when i move in different motions(such as touching my toes)

Does this mean that its just a muscle b/c it hurts with movement?

Its hurt for almost three days now.

Rovsing's sign

Deep palpation of the left iliac fossa may cause pain in the right iliac fossa. This is the Rovsing's sign, also known as the Rovsing's symptom. It is used in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Pressure over the descending colon causes pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen.[17]

Psoas sign

Occasionally, an inflamed appendix lies on the psoas muscle and the patient will lie with the right hip flexed for pain relief.

Obturator sign

If an inflamed appendix is in contact with the obturator internus, spasm of the muscle can be demonstrated by flexing and internally rotating the hip. This Maneuver will cause pain in the hypogastrium.

All those do not hurt when i do them.

But I am still nervous it is my appendix

  1. Both my brother and I had our appendix out the same year.

    The pain was in the front right abdomen area, maybe a little towards the right side. We both had severe cramps and vomiting. It hurt no matter what we did(laying,sitting....).

    It sounds like you have pulled a muscle in your back. Try putting ice on it for 15 minutes every hour and see if that does not help. Its what my neuro has me do.

    Hope this helps
