Go to the fucking hospital.

appendicitis can be acute or chronic. But you won't know until you are tested. And if your white count is through the roof they'll want it out asap.

you do not want it to rupture.

Get to a fucking A&E you bell. 
People go to A and E for sprains, I think this is justified! 

professorben

Ok now you are worrying me....it's uncomfortable, hurts when I walk, a bit, and if I cough or stretch.
its not agony. 

holnrew

You're not gonna walk appendicitis off 

professorben

Look I'll go to the doctors tomorrow promise. 
I just would feel a bit of a shit if it is wind lol

Go to the fucking hospital you massive twat.

if it goes bang in the night not only will you be waiting for an ambulance (you will not be able to drive) you'll also be waiting for the surgical team to be assembled, possibly from miles out if the guys on night duty are already dealing with someone who was smart enough to go in early.

easy test. Hop on one leg on the side it hurts. I bet it hurts more on landing.

Take a book. Have an evening out. Perve at nurses. Blood test first and a quick physical. No drama if it's not serious.

But all far better than your family being told you died because you were thick.

Push slowly down on the area where you appendix is, as far as you can.. and then let go quickly. If the release causes you acute pain.. then get yourself looked at quick cos that is supposed to be a classic sign of appendicitis.

correct - that is one of the proper tests, along with a finger up the bum

When I was 43, I put up with odd cold shivers for a few days, even in a  hot bath
then went out for a lads night out.... just a curry and a few pints mid-week, stayed at my mates 70 miles away

felt crap the next day - felt like having a crap, could produce very little- I turned green, throwing up, assumed it was just the food, went home sick from work, felt like I was drink driving home. Chilled at home, had a hot bath, still shivery in the very hot bath. I bought some trapped wind tablets.
next day went to GP. Got sent straight to A&E. Ruptured gangrenous appendix. Had to operate at 11pm, was within a few hours of death.

My verdict - you don't know what appendicitis feels like - no one can unless they have medical training

my current plan:
if you can't explain your symptoms convincingly, go and see a professional

PolarityMan

Now you should realise that I'm not a trained medical professional and as such you should follow all the excellent advice to get yourself down the GP's...but......it might be leprosy.

I guess when it's an annexe to the main content. Then it's an appendix?

I had peritonitis for 24 hours ..........they couldn't believe I lived but I have had most of my intestine removed as it was gangrenous and necrosed - it took 6 months to recover .
I don't think you have appendix - but your bowel is probably in spasm from gastric flu......the pain of appendix is pretty unmistakeable and you would be screaming for an Ambulance 
Nevertheless,I very nearly died .............get to A AND E  ......it is easy and safe -you could be gambling with your life .

mine was not  agony
hence driving 70 miles home with it and waiting an extra day
extremely likely you have appendicitis - get to A&E
if you delay, you probably won't die, just a few days/weeks extra in intensive care and a ward recovering from peritonitis with more scars and drains
I was too late to get keyhole, now have lovely massive old school scar

professorben

Ok phoned 111 doc is calling me back.....

professorben

Ok they phoned back. Off to the walk in centre. 
If i die I'm holding every Leave voter responsible.....

I fondly remember my perforated appendix. 18 hours lying in the shower to ease the pain, passing out, hours away from dying. Great fun. 
 Typical bloke thought I'd be OK until it incapacitated me, luckily I summoned the strength to phone my ex girlfriend (now wife) who dragged me to a taxi and on to hospital. All this fun on the other side of the world where I ended up paying £1500 for the pleasure as well. 

Yeah, just ignore it,it'll go away
