I have a pain in my side. Around about where my appendix would be. I am not sure what this is all about. I don't want to call the doctor but I am afraid I am going to have to. I have been feeling a bit nauseous after eating over the past week or so but nothing serious. I just thought maybe I was fighting to not get a stomach bug. Of course not bad enough to make me stop eating.
But then today there is this pain. It hurts when I move certain ways and really if I push on that spot. The problem with calling the doctor is that I don't have the time. Their office isn't anywhere near where I work and isn't really near my house either. It is out of the way. Plus I would have to take time off of work. Not really into that.
So I am not sure if I should wait to see if it goes away. I don't want to panic and call the doctor at every little paper cut. But I also will go if I need to.
My dilemma is how long do I wait before making the call? I don't know anyone who has had their appendix removed to even know if these are symptoms. My fear is if it is and it bursts then I am screwed. UGH.

Lauren, if it gets to where you can not stand up because it makes you double over, that is when you for sure want to head to the doctor or urgent care. I have had my appendix out. At first it just hurt then came the sharp pain and doubling over, if you have a fever as well as the pain, don't wait, call the doctor, the worst they are going to say is it sounds like the flu. Do you have a nurse line you can call? Or speak with a nurse at your doctors office to help you make the decision on whether you need to be seen? Hope something in that all helps a bit...
better be safe than sorry..... get yo butt to thee doctors straight away sistah
