Does appendicitis feel like the stitch you get from running?
Question:
Answers:
perhaps a little... but not in the area you usualy get the stitch type pain, appendicitis typicaly starts as pain in the stomach, and after a matter of hours then moves down to the left side of the body above the pubic bone, when the left side is pressed on the pain surges to the right side where the appendix are, i suggest a stich like pain is more connected with a water infection or a pull..
Easiest way to tell if you have appendicitis is to press in deep on painful area. When you take your hand away - it will hurt very much worse than when you pressed in on it.
Appendicitis Symptoms
Appendicitis typically begins with a vague pain in the middle of the abdomen. The pain slowly moves to the right lower abdomen over 24 hours. In the classic description, abdominal pain is accompanied with nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, and fever. These symptoms, however, occur in fewer than half of people who develop appendicitis. Any combination of these symptoms may or may not occur. More commonly, people with appendicitis do not have typical symptoms.
The symptoms of appendicitis may take 4-48 hours to develop. During this time, someone developing this condition may have varying degrees of loss of appetite, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Some with developing appendicitis may have constipation, diarrhea, or no change in bowel habits.
Early symptoms are often hard to separate from other conditions including gastroenteritis (an inflammation of the stomach and intestines). Many people admitted to the hospital for suspected appendicitis leave the hospital with a diagnosis of gastroenteritis. On the other hand, true appendicitis is often diagnosed as gastroenteritis at first.
Children and the elderly often have fewer symptoms, which makes their diagnosis less obvious.
mostly the pain you feel having appendicitis is on your left side a hand above your leg. it is not often like a stitch but more constantly
