...when you’re having the same symptoms... I woke up with unbearable pain two days ago. And the past week or two, right below my bellybutton, it’s super painful like there is pressure on it
Did it end up being okay?
The scariest part is the fact that it can happen outta the blue to anyone of any age. I myself had 8 kidney stones and I would absolutely hate to tag on appendicitis with it..
I remember getting my appendix removed back in march 2020 (I was about 20 years old), I remember being in so much pain (my appendix had ruptured) and was hands down the worst pain I've ever felt in my life, I could barely even walk because whenever I move my legs my lower abdomen would hurt so much that it felt like I've been stabbed or shot, I felt like crying but I for some reason I just couldn't and I even made a crying face but no tears would come down. So I was rushed to the hospital via ambulance on 3/17/2020 at like 7 in the morning, I woke up feeling severe pain in my lower abdomen. I've spent a week and a half in the hospital going though recovery. When I got discharged I still felt pain but not as much as before the surgery. For a few weeks, I had to lay down at a certain position so my lower abdomen wouldn't hurt, I couldn't laugh because when I did my lower abdomen would hurt (there were many instances when I had to tell my friends "Ahh!! Don't make me laugh!" whenever they made me laugh from jokes they tell me and what not lol). But man... what an experience lol.
so glad you are okay! how are you doing today? im currently going through the same thing (im 17) except mine didn’t rupture thank God. But ive been feeling pain in my side for 3 days so i said yeah something isnt right called 911 just to be safe turns out it was appendicitis got surgery yesterday and im currently still in the hospital in so much pain, cant walk or laugh either it hurts so bad just like how you described it, i cant imagine if i stayed home thinking the pain was nothing this couldve been a whole other story
I had my day of horror in Sept. 2020. Worst time of my life. The appendix had already ruptured, sepsis had set in, blood pressure was too low, heart rate was too high and I could barely breathe. I didn't think I would survive and the surgeon later told me it was really bad.
I had a really bad tummy ache years after a planned surgery which was cancelled, the very next day the doctor told me “ I’m admitting you’re having an operation tonight” and I did. It happened so fast....
I am 13, and A few weeks ago I started getting very nauseous a lot, it slowly migrated to my right side in a stabbing pain, however the pain was on and off. After 3 ultrasounds, a CT scan, and a ER trip I was finally diagnosed with chronic appendicitis.
Since it’s chronic not acute it’s not considered an emergency surgery since it’s not at risk of rupture (very thankful for the Lords mercy there) so we have my laparoscopic appendectomy scheduled in the next few weeks. For those who have had it removed - any tips?
I have just gone through all of that diagnosis too. Pain started in April. Here we are in July and I am seeing a surgeon on Monday. Like you said, the pain comes and goes, so no one takes you seriously (at least me) until I finally got my CT this morning
I’ve been having the same symptoms and had one ultrasound done which was normal by looking at your comment I think I should get my ct scan too as pain comes and go, it’s been more than a month and if it’s chronic appendix, Appendectomy is the only solution? we’re you suggested for antibiotics?
@@ismail_yaseen5430es appendicomy was only solution doctor chose
Hey Ismail friend , 2 days before I got diagnosed with chronic appendix , the doctor said you have a partially acute chronic appendix , since there is no any chance of rapture and he put me into the medications , and said me if your symptoms goes away after taking these medicines then its okay you don't need surgery but if it doesn't go away despite taking medicines then will go for surgery , since I have been taking medicine since 3 days but I'm also feeling a little sharp pain that comes and goes away , so I think I need surgery @@ismail_yaseen5430
I feel for you. I felt mine lower right on a wed night pushed through till Friday at the gym and literally mid exercise doubled over and couldn't move... stubborn a friend pushed me to go to emergency. Friday night ultrasound and CT with contrast on hydro morphine... emergency surgery Saturday. Mine had ruptured 2 weeks before I had received surgery. My body apparently fought the infection so it purrfurated and adhered to my abdominal wall...rare case 5 day hospital stay. So ladies be aware and don't think it's just bad ovulation (what I thought wed night). Bruised triceps from all the dilaudid injections .... but home recovering healthy and thankful 🙏🏼
Holy crap! Now THAT was a story! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend
i just had mine taken out yesterday and i’m still in a lot of pain. i usually get SUPER bad period cramps to where i’m throwing up every month but this pain was lasting way too long and the pain was moving down to my right so knew something was wrong. very scary
Happened to me when I was 11 years old. I couldn’t walk.
@@nenaj1 one of our friends cousin had it in 10 years,now she is fine
Anyone else try to remember what they were doing at the time this was all happening? I was a sophomore in college and freaking out all week over a math midterm. Great story!
I was 11 years old. Couldn’t walk.
Love your hair so much! Also I had surgery just month ago so yep I can relate 😜
So actually a lot of the smaller hospitals just aren’t equipped to handle major things like that so that’s probably why they didn’t have any surgeons there. I agree though it’s pretty weird I just know for me whenever I have needed to go to the ER my mom who is also a nurse always makes sure it’s a hospital well equipped to handle most things because things can change so quickly. But then the downside to these more equipped hospitals is that they are much busier. But yeah the hospital you go to really does matter sometimes. Glad you made it through ok :)
haha ya that’s what they told us too and we were kinda in the middle of no where so it made sense!
I just had an appendectomy two weeks ago. Totally the same symptoms and emergency. So weird how you just know something’s wrong, a total miracle I just knew to go to the ER. Even more awesome is how quick the healing time was, back to work in a week after laparoscopic surgery.
I just had one. How long did it take for the pain to subside. I am 3 days post op and it's still pretty bad
@johndavid3114 following. Its bn about 5 days the pain was gtn better now im sooo sore all over again. Cnt evn walk
I woke up 2 days ago with a cramping pain on my lower left abdomen and it was slightly down my thigh also, it hurt so bad that I was eventually screaming and crying. I ended up throwing up, that day but that's the only time I've thrown up. And the only way I could get the pain to stop was if I was sitting up on the edge of the bed. I ended up being able to sleep.
The next day, the pain was very little. I could still feel pressure but it wasn't bad. So I thought it was just a stomach ache or food poisoning.
I woke up today, 2 days later, with bad cramping pain on my right side. I ended up taking a nap, woke up and couldn't get up because the cramping was so bad.
It ended up not hurting for a little bit after that, I went to a MedCheck and they didn't really give me any information other than to take antibiotics.
I get back home, and the pain comes back. The pain was in my belly button and my right lower abdomen. And it hurt so fucking bad. I couldn't sit up.
The pain is now resided and doesn't hurt like it was, but there's still pain
Moral of this is that I am terrified to have surgery I am afraid it needles and have never had a surgery. I honestly don't know if I have appendiciti, but that's what it's looking like.
I hope by some miracle it's not, and I just have a really bad stomach ache or something .
The main reason I feel it could possibly bit be is because it started on my left side, I have no fever, and I've been able to poop.
Update:
I had surgery yesterday. What I had wasn't appendicitis, but I have ovarian torsion.
There was a HUGE cyst in between my ovary and fallopian tube, and it got so big it cause my over to twist on itself and cut off the blood flow. They weren't able to save one of my ovaries but they got the cyst out.
They believe that when I first started having pains, which was 5 days ago, that's when the ovary twisted. So, I feel like this should be more aimed towards ladies.
Please please please if you have pain like appendicitis or ovarian torsion, go to the ER and get it checked out, it's never too late to be safe.
The pains I was experience was sharp, cramping pains, started on my lower left abdomen and felt some pain in my leg. The next day I didn't feel very much pain, but I could feel pressure. The next day after that, there was cramping pain on my lower right abdomen and sharp pain in my belly button. This is why I thought it was appendicitis, but it was all just my ovary being murdered by a giant cyst :'(
Hope you okay now
So glad you got meds then made it to the next hosp without it bursting. In the hosp recovering from an appendectomy lol
Crazy how you’re from richmond like me lol 804 gang. My right side on my lower stomachs been hurting so bad all day i’m about to go to the hospital and see if i have this!
I HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT IT WAS JUST BUBLES OF AIR IN MY STOMACH
When i had it the pain was so g-damn bad. Mine had burst a few days before i went to the hospital and it literally felt like hell on earth.
I searched this because I got my appendix removed on Monday (I’m 13)
How did it go ?😕
Mariana Robles it was very painful but now I feel no pain so it’s ok it could’ve been fatal if left for any longer
Had mine on the same day lol
hi, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. just want to know whether your doctors had provided with pics or video of your surgery or appendix. ?
I was in the hospital for the same reason but likely mine was not taken out but it was awful experience
Just had my appendix removed wouldn’t wish that pain on anybody !!
I'm getting mine removed tomorrow. Mine ruptured and I went 2 weeks with it leaking. When I finally convinced my mom to go to the er they were surprised I was even alive and I was in alot of pain (my appendix when it ruptured I was lucky enough that my body made a little pocket of all the infection the surgeon who looked at it said it was 10cm big).
I was in the hospital with a drain for a while before they removed it. With out numbing. It hurt like a bitch.
Whatever you do if you have appendixitus DO NOT go to the st. Luke's in Boise Idaho. By far the most money hungry place I've ever been too.
They basically made me take anxiety medication even though I said no and tha I've had bad reactions to it before but they didn't listen and guess what? I had a bad reaction too it and it made my anxiety worse before getting an x-ray done (it was to look at my drain and appendix to see if the stones and infection was drained)
Was in hospital for over weeks! Mine ruptured! I got infection! I almost died. I rode in ambulance an hour away!!! It was awful
Christina Paden can u tell me ur symptoms? Only if u want ofc
@@xxph8827 pain in the middle stomach then it progress to the right lower stomach. Puking bile, cant drink anything not even water without puking, fever, chills, belching, unable to walk when it gets close to rupturing
I had it and my whole abdomen and stomach was filled with infection I had to get an abdominal drain in my abdomen
@@anautisticpersonxd3324 mine was so bad i had to get 4 drains and a chest tube it had seaped all the way up in my lungs i was so close dieing i was in the hoslital for 14 days this was end of july beging of augst im getting it removed the 30 what is like how painful is it and what was your recovery time?
I am glad you’re still here ♥️
Moves from belly button to right side
my pain happened the other way around! (:
I thought i would look into other stories like this. I went 7 days with a ruptured appendix in Reno. No symptoms or pain just a mild fever.7th day mom made me go to the dr. Nearly blacked out driving. Got to the dr and collapsed in the parking lot. A groundskeeper found me. They couldn't even get a blood pressure. After everything there were doctors coming to see me in the hospital because they didn't believe it. At the time the girl I was dating her dad is one of the top endocrinologist in the world. He literally told me I should have died 4 days ago. He told me it was a Nevada record. Out of the hospital in 5 days..minus some large intestine and a few other things they found that were dead from it
Dam, I had mine removed yesterday. I legit collapsed and lost consciousness as we were going to the hospital aswell. Just spazzing out it's crazy
I’m glad you’re still here ♥️
I got mine out 2 weeks ago and I was in the hospital 1 week and 1/2 of that time you got out fast
Although a small hospital might not have a surgeon 24/7, I'm surprised that they let you go in a car. Normally they use ambulances for "inter-facility transfers." That's what those privately-owned ambulances are for.
I have had a stabbing pain near my belly button that comes, lasts for 24 hours, then goes. Three times since April. After numerous ultrasounds and doctor visits I finally got my CT this morning and my appendix is enlarged. I meet with a surgeon on Monday. I am hoping they can treat this with antibiotics. This is probably chronic appendicitis, not acute like you had
Is there a chance it’ll happen again if it’s just treated with antibiotics and not removed? I guess my way of thinking is; if it’s a vistigial organ and it’s causing problems, why not just get rid of it entirely 😅
This is like mine, just pain thar comes and goes, more on the right side then left side, but both sides. Sharp and tender/warm feeling, no other symptoms though
I had an emergency appendectomy almost 2 months ago very scary. Mine ruptured and turned into an abcess
I just had mine out yesterday and was home by night time I was lucky and went in early enough to get surgery quickly before it bursted recovery sucks but better then if it would of busted.
I'm also suffering from appendix and day after tomorrow is my operation and i'm very scared 😨
I think I might need it now I'm in so much pain and idk what's going on I've been holding off on going to the doctors for a couple of days
really interesting video... hey in the mountains the old timers would use the local critter-vet... glad you got to a good hospital...:} thanks charming girl and stay well...:)
I got mine out it hurt like hell
I heard you said something about Winchester and Richmond. Would you happen to be from Kentucky. I was researching cause I'm having a couple symptoms and came across this video.
i’m from richmond, virginia!
I was 9 when I had it I can not describe the number of stuff I am traumatized of and the next week I went to international french test I was the obly who got 100 that month was weird it was even my birth day month😢
I had surgery 3 weeks ago, went through the same stuff.😓
May I ask, how do you feel now? I had surgery 2 days ago and I’m so much pain afterwards…
how long the pain take to go away
I was in so much pain and my Mum said are you sure it’s not just wind? Hahaha! 12 hours later I was in theatre.
I’m 13 and having the worst side pains
Did it end up being appendicitis?
@@laurenj432 no my doctor said I probably just pulled a muscle I was feeling good for a while but it just started to hurt again like yesterday
@@hannahanderson2015 Oh okay. I hope you feel better soon :(
Did you gain weight easily after removing your appendix
Bro I got my a appendicitis removed three days ago and still recovering
i had appendicitis and it’s like a horrible horrible period cramp and it’s so unbearable that no meds can help morphine didn’t even help me
I get scared when my stomach hurts thank God that didn't happen to me
I think I have appendicitis but when I went to the emergency room they sent me home with pepcid I'm scared I'm going to die if I dont get help soon.🥺
Are you okay now?
You good?
@@Allbynicole yes now I just have heart disease. Thanks for asking
@@stinkmeaner8189 no appendicitis just heart disease thanks for asking.
@@johnkimball5872 How are you doing now that you found out you have heart disease?
interesting most people feel the pain start in there belly button then move to the right lower quad of the abdomen
Right? She’s said it opposite
I got my appendix taken out in September… on my birthday😬
May God Bless Everyone , Amen
Appendicitis is no damn joke! I had mine removed two fridays ago and I’m still in pain 😭
