If you really think it's appendicitis you need to go to hospital now. That's nothing to wait around with. You get your appendix out before it ruptures....you looking a day or two in the hospital. You get your appendix out after it ruptures...you bought yourself at least 5 days in the hospital with IV antibiotics and possibly not being allowed ANYTHING to eat or drink for a couple days. And maybe even a tube down your nose as well.

Honestly, I don't think it's anything. And Jones and my mother are forcing me to go to the doctor. He told me this morning, "You finally made the right decision"

Yesterday at 11AM, I got a cramp that felt like the kind you get when you have to pee and have held it in too long. So I went to the restroom, and it didn't really help much. Tried to eat lunch, but after a few bites I was dying. It was manageable when I sat still, but walking was TORTURE. And oddly, coughing hurt it really bad. Of course, as soon as I realized coughing hurts, I suddenly have to cough constantly. lol.

Stayed bad throughout the evening, but again, manageable. Hurt when I walked or moved, but was okay when I was stationary.

Took a bunch of gas medicine before bed. Didn't help.

Now it just hurts like after a really crazy workout. Extremely sore when I try to get up from sitting.. and still hurting when I cough. I think it's fine. Just feels sore. But since I haven't done anything to make it sore, mom thinks i need to get it looked at.

I did read that appendicitis starts off manageable for a couple days, so that's what has me afraid this could possibly be that.

My appt is @ 3.
