Worried i may have appendicitis!

[thedarkrose]

Hi all

i need a bit of advice. I have tried getting an appointment with the doctor but they are fully booked. I have been getting pains on my lower right side of my abdomen. The area close to my thigh and sometimes the pain goes down my thigh. It hurts mostly when i am sitting but is not so bad when i move around. I have no other symptoms. I am just a bit worried as it is in the area of my appendix. Could it have anything to do with Polysystic Ovarian Syndrome at all as i did suspect that i may have this?

Hi, it's more likely to be a muscle strain than anything else. One way to identify appendicitis is if it is very painful to touch the affected area. I would think you are more likely to have a trapped nerve or muscle strain than anything else.

if it was what you think it is then you would be in so much agony you wouldn't even be able to write this post! go see your GP, but I don't think its what you think it is hun. xxx

Hi Darkrose.
It doesnt sound like appendix to me from what you say. I had mine out when i was 19 and it started in my left side then went to my belly button and it was pure agony, i couldnt even straighten up. But like cheeky charlie and physcopet says you would be in so much pain and its sore to touch. I hope you manage to get to see your gp soon and at least he can put your mind at ease.
Take care

believe me if it was your appendix you would know firstly you would be in terrible pain ..vomiting ..diarrhea and a raging temperature ....

When i had appendicitis it was much worse when i moved about, much worse. Didnt travel down my thigh either....kinda sounds more like a pinched nerve as it radiates downward. x
