I had all the symptoms. But nothing was wrong when I went to the emergency room. They did tests and gave me pain medication and said I had flank pain. I went on my way and took the meds. 3 days later I have the same pain only this time it moved a bit to the side and part of my stomach.and it was intense. I was chilled and sweating throwing up low grade fever.I thought maybe they were right considering I am an stna and the work we do involves a lot of lifting . I couldn't stand the pain any longer it had radiated to damn near my whole right side.
I had gone back to the same emergency room and said "I am not leaving here until you find out what is wrong"
The emergency doctor ran very test and did a cat scan
Came back and asked me what medication I was allergic to,I said "penicillin why?" He said well u have appendicitis. Taa daaa I just wanted to hug him I smiled and cried but said thank u a bunch of times. I was off 2 he's later for surgery. Now the reason why i was not diagnosed with it the first time I went in was because it was not as inflamed to make an appearance. Never felt better just a little sore . take pain meds as subscribed if u don't need them don't rely on them. Keep an Ice pack on ur abdomen and drink lots of water.
Walk like they say and do your breathing exercises. Good luck
