For the past 3 nights, I have had really sharp, almost cramp-type, pains on my lower right abdominal side...it comes and goes, but the past couple of nights, ive actually woken up and tossed and turned from the pain... i was wondering if this could be appendix related... ive never had any previous problem with my appendix, and to be honest, i dont know of any of the symptoms. does anyone know what else i would be feeling, symptom wise, for it to be a guarteneed appendix issue? im getting worried....
thank you! :)

Seeing a doctor would be your best solution, there is no guaranteed test for appendicitis outside of a hospital. Leaving a suspected swollen appendix to rupture is not a good idea and can be life threatening.
But one test a doctor that I know used to use was having the patient jump up as high as they could. If they were in extreme pain after landing he suspected the appendix.

I just had mine removed and it was like that but i couldn't walk at all with it. i went to my doctor and that day i had it removed. but it could be something more serious if i were you i would go get checked out if it is your appendix it could kill you if it brakes
