I've been having consistent pain today from the lower abdominal to the right side. A doctor on the phone said I could be having appendicitis

😔 I can't imagine undergoing a surgery right now...

I had my appendix out for the same reason when I was 15. It's not as bad as it sounds and people will wait on you hand and foot for a while. 🤗

@LongDistanceRecon636 I said I had nausea earlier. Are you some kind of SW doctor?

My understanding is that appendicitis is VERY painful. A sharp, intense, excruciating pain that comes rather suddenly, not some dull mild pain... That's what I have heard, I'm not a doctor or anything, though...
SW-User
@drymer Well, my aunt has had appendicitis before but the pain was not very severe. Plus it doesn't have to be severe to know that you have appendicitis. That's the dangerous thing about it. You cannot be cocky just because the pain is mild
drymer · 56-60, M
@SW-User Good to know, thank you for the heads up!
SW-User
@drymer You're welcome
SW-User
I had that, almost died 😳 If the pain continues intensifying and you start a fever go to the hospital.
SW-User
@SW-User no politics though, sorry I care too much about you to go down that road and risk an argument. 😄
SW-User
@SW-User Don't worry. I'm not good at discussing politics anyways lol
SW-User
@SW-User excellent! 👍😁

I'm so sorry.
I hope you'll be okay. If it doesn't get better soon, I would go to the hospital.
SW-User
@TeresaRudolph71 Thank you 🤗 Don't worry the doctor said it wasn't appendicitis. It was some extra fluid in my pelvis that could be caused by infection or virus that they didn't know, but overall it was nothing too serious 😁
TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F
@SW-User Oh, I'm glad to hear that is wasn't anything serious. ;) I hope it gets better soon. 🤗
SW-User
@TeresaRudolph71 Thank you! ❤

Just think of it this way...if it is appendicitis, if you do not undergo the surgery and have it removed...it will burst and you could possibly die...which would you rather happen?
indyjoe · 56-60, M
@SW-User I am glad to hear that
SW-User
@indyjoe 😊 Thank you
indyjoe · 56-60, M
@SW-User 🤠👍️
SW-User
How are you today???
Any better?
SW-User
@SW-User I haven't been back to the hospital to find out, but they didn't seem serious about what was wrong with it, probably because it was too mild to be worth considering
SW-User
@SW-User as long as you feel better..
Are you still in any pain?
SW-User
@SW-User Nope. The pain is gone right now because I took some Advil earlier
SW-User
Did the doctor tell you how long to wait before visiting the ER?
SW-User
@LongDistanceRecon636 You seem doubtful of my symptoms eh?

@LongDistanceRecon636 Look, your injured ribs have nothing to do with my pain right now. Appendicitis can get worse if you underestimate your mild pain and miscellaneous symptoms (according to a real doctor, not just someone who wanted to be a doctor). I'm sorry I can't listen to you and think that it's not appendicitis. For the third time, I do have nausea but haven't vomited.

I hope you feel better soon, Alex.
SW-User
@arthurca Thank you Arthur
arthurca · M
@SW-User Appendicitis can be serious, or just a passing overnight pain.
Either way, get well, dear friend.
SW-User
@arthurca I will 😊
oh gawd ❤️ gurl take care please
SW-User
@Dewms I will ❤ Thanks Dewms!
I think you're pregnant 🤭
SW-User
@BeefySenpie Oh shit I would rather have the appendicitis then 😂
It sounds about right, I had mine out when I was nine years young! Do not wait too long, if it ruptures, it'll be a huge operation and your recovery will be very long compared to having it early! Depending on your doctor and surgeon you could even die!
SW-User
@TheeOriginalAmazingsEXLover Yep you can never be too careful
SW-User
@LittleBlueAngelBoy Thank you 😁

Try punching the area several times. Sometimes the intestines can get "clotted" up if you dont exercise enough.
SW-User
@Sadlings I exercise every day 😒
Sadlings · 36-40, M
Ah just as I thought, its too much exercise. You need to eat more fatty foods.
SW-User
Oh, no. If it IS appendicitis, please get it taken care of soon. 🤗
@SW-User I am [b]SO[/b] relieved. I didn't think it was, but you never know.

Did they give you any idea of what might be causing your pain? (You can PM it to me if you don't want to discuss it here.)

Anyway, I'm glad you're doing well.
Thank you so much for letting me know.
I was concerned.

Have a Great Day. 🤗💞
SW-User
@PhoenixPhail Thank you 😊 They said there was some extra fluid in my pelvis possible caused by an infection or virus but it wasn't too serious
@SW-User That's a relief. I'm glad it was something minor.
It must be a load off of you to not have to worry about it.
So glad it was nothing serious.

Stay well, honey.
Lots of Love
❤️❤️❤️

We'll pray that you'll get better soon. 🙏 Have you lost your appetite or throwing up? If not, then it probably isn't appendicitis.
SW-User
@Barefooter25 I have nausea but I haven't thrown up, also because I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to throw up so I control it
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
@SW-User I'm sure you'll be fine. But my recommendation is to see a physician very soon.
SW-User
@Barefooter25 I will

All the ice cream you could ever want
SW-User
@Eternity Haha I don't have to worry about that though because I never use tampons. They're too big.... 😂
Eternity · 26-30, M
@SW-User oh okay well whatever it is you'll be alright. Positive vibes and whatnot
SW-User
@Eternity I hope so. Thank you ❤
tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F
You need to get it checked out by visiting your doctor urgently.A burst appendix is very serious.
SW-User
@tallpowerhouseblonde I know. But I'm still waiting to see if the pain still exists or intensifies in the next one hour

TrashCat · M
Can you imagine waking up dead?

Get that thing removed
SW-User
@TrashCat The doctor still hasn't confirmed yet that its appendicitis. I think I'm going to the hospital tomorrow
SW-User
It's not a serious surgery. You'll recover pretty quick from it.
SW-User
@SW-User I'll take your word for it
