It doesn't hurt much right now. It seemed to go away but as i write this i feel it coming back. I hope im just making this up lol.

Appendicitis doesn't typically come and go. It's an inflammation/infection and symptoms will increasingly worsen and cause some pretty severe issues (pain, nausea, vomiting etc.). If indeed you had appendicitis, you'd be in distress by now and at the hospital.

the appendix is on the left hand side so the pains associated with appendicitis is always on the left

It's actually on the right, attached the large intestine. Pain associated would be in the lower right quadrant of your abdomen. Regardless, my previous post is accurate concerning appendicitis and the symptoms and pain associated with it.

Thanks for the tips. I think i just stress myself out over little pains. Very reassuring tho. Thank you!
