wish me luck...

Have a doctor's appt tomorrow to diagnose a mysterious abdominal pain that I've been having for about a week and a half. It's never gotten very bad, and it comes and goes a lot. It's on the right side, so I've been considering appendicitis, however I have no other symptoms of appendicitis.

Anyway, who knows what tomorrow will bring. Hopefully nothing serious. I'd be embarrassed if he found a popcorn ball in my intestine or something. Damn popcorn.

Well, if it IS your app., and it hasn't burst - cake walk broham. You don't need the **** collector anyway.

I'm hoping you expel some atomic flatus (and record the event for the forum benefit)

Thoughts and prayers regardless, and PLEASE keep us posted.

Cheers,
Rooster

Don't worry about it and get some good sleep. Good luck.

Hope everything comes out alright........Hmmmmmm, that didn't come out right.

Don't sweat it. Let the doctors do their thing and all will be right again.

Best of luck man. I used to get some killer pains like that and they were so bad I couldn't even walk. Eventually it went away, but I thought for sure I had an appendix problem as well. Never had the problem again and if the appendix burst I wouldn't be here today.

Hopefully it's nothing, just a pain.

You might have a hernia.....no big deal, but good luck anyway.

my guess is gall stones. i had em a few years ago. kinda painful. the surgery to remove your gall bladder is very uninvasive. soreness only lasts a few days.. i think i only stayed one night in the hospital.

good luck!

Thanks for the support, guys. I doubt it'll be anything serious, because I've never actually been incapacitated by the pain. In fact, this morning I woke up and it's not really even there anymore. I just ate some breakfast (unusual for me), and we'll see how the rest of the day pans out. I'm keeping my Dr. appt, regardless, just to make sure there's not some hidden problem that he would be able to find.

Demiurge- That sounds like a friend of mine who was diagnosed with a hernia. His Dr. just told him to take it easy and see what happens, and it went away and hasn't come back for, like 20 years.

danger boy- you're making me sound old... gall stones at 18... that would suck.

Basically, I'm not too worried about it, but I don't want things to get complicated in the future. I'd rather have surgery to remove the appendix than have the doctor playing cleanup in my gut.

Doctor says it's likely to be a stomach virus of some sort. He said even though there are no other symptoms, some only cause pain in the abdomen. He told me that as long as it didn't get worse, and didn't last for more than a week or two more, don't worry about it. Otherwise, come back in for more checkups. Today was the least painful of the past week, so maybe it's going away!

Thanks for your support,

Nadams

I'm glad you're OK.

I had the same thing about a year ago and it turned out to be nothing I guess. THey said they thought they saw a hernia, but then like a week later it quit hurting and has been fine since.

danger boy · January 2005

that's good news..

Try farting more, it always helps.

audiobliss · January 2005

sorry I jumped in here so late....glad to hear that it's probably nothing major, though...hope it goes away soon...

I had hernia surgery when I was, oh lemme think, about 7 or 8 I guess. I remember running around or getting out of bed sometimes....and suddenly grabbing my stomach and leaning on the nearest thing.....that wasn't much fun.....

wish me luck...
