its dull pain its just kinda annoying i'm not sure of the location of the pain for it to be appendicitis, but since its on the right side, i wasnt sure. when i push on the spot it doesnt really hurt. it kinda hurts a little. but i'm not sure if im pushing in the right spot. it hasnt gotten any worse since yesterday. should i see if it goes away and if it doesnt go to the doctor?

possibly.... Mostly around the belly button and right lower abdominal pain are the symptoms. You have to describe the pain like is it dull or sharp?

Hi;
No it is not appendicitis. The pain would not "Travel" all over your stomach. It does sound like you have an Intolerance to Lactose or something you ate. The Traveling pain is following your intestinal tract and you can know where your food is. In a day or two, you will have the trots and this will be an indicator of Lactose intolerance or Dairy Intolerance. Appendicitis pain is located in one spot first, then moves to the appendix location.

I'm not what it is but appendicitis usually are effect on the lower waist on the right side where ur appendix is located. I had the same feelings you had before but it went away after a few days. Maybe you ate something wrong that has cuz ur stomach to ache but i don't think it is appendicitis. If you would liek to learn more about appendicitis visit this site and read the symptoms section.

well, im not a doctor but if it is appendicitis the pain is in your lower right side. if you have been having the pain since yesterday and it is appendicitis, you probablly wouldnt be alive right now. the pain is so intence that your mom would have no choce but to take you because you would be screamming bloody murder and curled up in a ball and couldnt move. If you had it you probablly wouldnt even be able to type or even be on the computer.... If your symptoms seem this severe......call 911 yourself if your mother wont take you because appendicitis is a life or death sittuation!!!!!!
you will die if your appendix bursts

It very well could be...my son had to have his out and his was constant on his right side and behind the belly button. Lay down, have her gently press under your belly button and on the right side. If you can't tolerate the pain, go to the emergency room.
BUT, it if it only happens after eating, it could be your gallbladder--which means a gallbladder attack. It's also possible at 14, especially if you eat very low fat meals and you ate something high in fat--you indicated dairy, which could have triggered it.
Good luck.

Its highly unlikely to be anything other than wind trapped in your bowel. Appendicitis causes pain (severe) on the lower right side of your abdomen, it doesnt tend to move around the way you describe.

No one on yahoo can answer that for sure, but it does not sound like it.
Appendicitis localizes the pain to just above the right hip in the lower abdomen.
If you are concerned, see someone.

**Go see a doctor soon...please! Better safe than sorry.
*It may be cysts on your ovary.
*My daughter had similar pain. She had so many cysts on her right ovary that the fallopian tube twisted around and cut off the blood supply to her ovary. She had to have it removed at age 12.
*All this happened eventhough I took her to the doctor several times. He just didn't think to look for something out of the ordinary. We have a different doctor now.
