What Are the Symptoms?

The classic symptoms of appendicitis include:

Dull pain near the navel or the upper abdomen that becomes sharp as it moves to the lower right abdomen. This is usually the first sign
Loss of appetite
Nausea and/or vomiting soon after abdominal pain begins
Abdominal swelling
Temperature of 99° F to 102° F
Constipation or diarrhea with gas
Inability to pass gas
Almost half the time, other symptoms appear, including:

Dull or sharp pain anywhere in the upper or lower abdomen, back, or rectum
Painful urination
Vomiting that precedes the abdominal pain

I HAVE HAD MINE REMOVED AND SUFFERED MOST OF THIS SYMPTOMS

Call Your Doctor If:

You have pain that matches these symptoms. Acute appendicitis is a medical emergency that can be fatal. Prompt surgery is often essential. Do not eat, drink, or use any pain remedies, antacids, laxatives, or heating pads, which can cause an inflamed appendix to rupture.
You have symptoms of appendicitis, but your appendix has already been removed. You may have pelvic inflammatory disease, colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, a tubal pregnancy, gastroenteritis, or problems with your colon. Seek medical care immediately.

Here is what I found. I also know when it gets bad the pain is almost unbearable. If you think that you have go to the ER immediately. It is very serious and you don't want wait and let it get worse. The ER can give you a simple blood test to check you White Blood Cell count to see if you have it. Hope this helps wishing you the best of luck.


You have pain in your belly. The pain begins around your belly button but is felt all over your belly.
Within several hours, the pain gets stronger and then moves below your belly button on your right side (the lower right quadrant). The pain does not go away and gets worse when you move, walk, or cough.
You have pain in the upper right quadrant.
You feel nauseous or throw up a few times. You also may not feel like eating.
You have constipation, back pain, a slight fever, or a swollen abdomen.
You feel tired and do not have a lot of energy.
