Severe abdominal pain in your right side. Nausea fever vomiting. Appendicitis is extremely extremely serious. It could be a number of other things though. BUT why risk it. This is not something a doctors office can help with. You must go to the E.R. and perhaps have a Cat scan done.

The main symptom of appendicitis is abdominal pain. The pain is at first diffuse and poorly localized, that is, not confined to one spot. (Poorly localized pain is typical whenever a problem is confined to the small intestine or colon, including the appendix.) The pain is so difficult to pinpoint that when asked to point to the area of the pain, most people indicate the location of the pain with a circular motion of their hand around the central part of their abdomen. A second, common, early symptom of appendicitis is loss of appetite which may progress to nausea and even vomiting. Nausea and vomiting also may occur later due to intestinal obstruction.
As appendiceal inflammation increases, it extends through the appendix to its outer covering and then to the lining of the abdomen, a thin membrane called the peritoneum. Once the peritoneum becomes inflamed, the pain changes and then can be localized clearly to one small area. Generally, this area is between the front of the right hip bone and the belly button. The exact point is named after Dr. Charles McBurney--McBurney's point. If the appendix ruptures and infection spreads throughout the abdomen, the pain becomes diffuse again as the entire lining of the abdomen becomes inflamed.

You don't know and neither do any of us. We are not DOCTORS with you before us on an examination table. What no one is telling you is: Should you be suffering from a case of acute appendicitis and you do not have it confirmed by a doctor. It could burst, which would rapidly infest your entire body with toxic poison. It could prove to be life threatening. Go have it checked. Better safe than sorry, Believe me!!!

it becomes just about impossible to walk, and your side swells up.
