Can anyone tell me the symptoms you had before having your appendix surgically removed?

Question:

Answers:
I'm a RN in an ER, Appendicitis usually presents with pain in the right lower side of your abdomen. The pain may be sudden onset, usually quite severe. If you press on it, it typically hurts more when you let go. You may have a fever. You will likely have nausea and or vomiting. If you go to the hospital, they will do a blood test. Your white blood cells will be elevated. Then they will have to do either an ultrasound or a CT scan to diagnose it.
Hope this helps.

Generalized abdominal cramps. Pain usually begins near the navel and moves down to the lower right. The pain becomes worse when the person moves or touches the area.

· Nausea or vomiting.
· Elevated temperature.
· Increased pulse rate.
· Loss of appetite.
· Constipation.
· Abdominal swelling.

In appendicitis these symptoms tend to become more severe as time passes. Not everyone with appendicitis has all the symptoms.

I have never had my appendix removed, but I was an emt for 11 years and some of the symtoms are: fever, nausea, extreme pain in the right side. Also, if you lay flat on the floor and have someone push on your side and let up quickly, you should be in excessive pain. Don't let this go on without getting it checked.

I had middle and lower right pain and first thought is was just constipation and later I thought maybe a bladder infection. I never had the nausea or anything and when they removed my appendix it was 3 times as long as normal and wrapped around my colon! The surgeon said I was the only patient he'd ever seen like that.
My sister, on the other hand, threw up for hours.
