About 2 or 3 days ago i started coming down with what i assumed was flu, but yesterday but stomach started cramping and i was sick. i couldnt sleep all night because i was in agony, it felt like my insides were burning. At 6 this morning my mum rang the hospital because it was so bad and id almost passed out from the pain. Just before getting in the car i was sick again and this stopped the pain. The doctor said it is probably a virus but not to rule out swine flu and pressed around my appendix area which hurt, but she didnt seem worried by that because she said it would hurt more when she released that area, but it hurt more while she was pressing it. Now the pains on my right side, where it would hurt if it was my appendix, but its not tht bad a pain, if it was my appendix wouldnt it get worse? and im not sure whether its been starined when i was sick or something. And im hungry, which apparently you wouldnt be if it was appendicitus. Im in freshers week in uni so i might just be run down...i really dont want it to be my appendix?
 
Yeah, appendicitis pain will get worse. Misdiagnosis is not unheard of in the early stages.
 
my appendicitis pain started in my upper middle stomach for about 30 hours till i got to A&E because the pain was so bad.. they gave me painkillers which got rid of that pain but i had a mild pain/soreness by my appendix for the next few days untill they figured out what was wrong and removed it.
I had gone to my doctor in the morning becasue it hurt so much, she had a feel around and fobbed me off with it being too much acid in my stomach... doctors arnt always right!

If it doesnt go soon i'd get yourself to A&E to get checked out... appendicits can be dangerous if left to long, if it bursts youre in big trouble. I dont want to scare you, it could well be just a virus or something.. but if it doesnt go id get it checked out just incase, all they will do is give you an xray and scan and blood test.

And dont be scared! i am like the biggest wuss in the world, i HATE needles, but having your appendix out really isnt as bad as i thought it was, and if the pain is anything like mine, you;d be glad to get it out of you! These days they do it all key hole and you just get a few little scars, you can be out of hospital the next day

good luck!
