Since yesterday afternoon, I've been having this sharp pain in my right side. It started out a few inches under my ribs & then moved down a little. It doesn't hurt until I touch it & when I do, it feels like a pinch. It feels like it's right underneath the skin. I've looked up the pain on the Internet & it's all telling me apendicitis, but I don't have most of the symptoms, just the pain. I worked myself into a slight fever last night (99.1 F), but this morning when I woke up, I was back to a normal temperature. I don't hurt if I move, cough, sneeze, laugh, or even lay on that side, just when I touch it. My mother suggested it might be a pulled muscle & my friend thought it might be gastritis. I've been trying to get a hold of my friend who has had her apendix burst, but it's not working, which is why I'm asking here. Does anyone know what this might be? Or know what I should do?​
 
When my kid's pediatrician checked for appendicitis he'd have them try to jump up and down to see if that hurt. If it did, then you need further evaluation for appendicitis. If not, it's probably a virus in the gastro-intestinal tract and will pass with a day or 2.

Try and see if that makes you hurt more.
 
if that is your appendix giving problems and it burst you will have more problems. My friend had hers burst and the poison entered her body cavity and damaged her uterus, tubes, ovaries, lungs, stomach, etc. She was on a ventilator for 4 months at the age of 16.

She almost died. Why take a chance, get yourself to the damn hospital and get it checked out especially with the fever!
