OT - Appendix

I had a horrible pain filled night last night. I hardly got any sleep. I think my appendix is giving me grief but I am not sure. I was having these intense cramps; picture going up a hill - the pain was slight and it would build and build, reach the top which was very painful and then start to recede. The pain at it's peak would radiate to my lower right side and when it subsided, my lower right side would ache. It was sporadic and happened at odd intervals. I got up this morning and the cramping is almost gone but my abdomen is tender in the lower area like I did a hundred sit ups. If I lean against a counter, it's very tender and I start to get a bit of cramping. Oh once yesterday during the day when I was having this odd cramp, I coughed and there was an excruciating pain on my lower right side but short lived. Like I said, I am feeling a bit better this morning (just a little tired) but should I call my GI anyway?

For anyone that has had appendicitis, does sound like appendix issues?

Btw, I am not flaring with my Uc.

I'm at urgent care now....pain got worse and now I have a rash all over my body. :(

Keep us posted - let us know how you make out!!!

Wow....it's good you went to urgent care!!! I too hope you get answers.

Looking forward to the update (biting fingernails..).

eek. That's not good. I'm glad you went in. I know we feel guilt/silly for going in to emerg
but I think deep down we know when things aren't right.
Hope they fix you up very soon!

Geez...definitely a shocker Sherry! That is very low bp!

Are you back home? If so..how does it work regarding results, etc? or are you in the waiting room?

Did you bring the stool sample there as well?

I hope they can pinpoint the cause and it can be dealt with.

Thanks for the updates Sherry,

That's good you weren't sent home. Looking forward to hearing how you are doing. Hope you're getting some rest and pain relief.

Glad you are doing better. Hope you have a good solid meal and poop and get back home.
