    My appendix burst when I was 58. I had waited four days to get to see the Dr, because while I felt sick, and couldn't bear the idea of food, I had no actual pain in any of the expected area. My bowel perforated in another place as well, and I ended up losing half of it in a right sided hemicolectomy.
    Life changing experience, and not in a good way!

    My brother, Dad and paternal grandfather all had appendicitis as children. Thankfully all survived. Interesting video. I’ve just discovered you!

    I wanted to say thank you for this video and the one showing the McBurney Point (I think that was the name). My son started having some abdominal pain and so I started looking up stuff and came upon your video. It was the most comprehensive video that I found. The other video showed where the pain would be and after checking him, I decided we need to take him in to be checked.
    He did not have the classic symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. Just the pain when he moved around. On the way to the hospital he started to have a little nausea, which started within 2 hours of when the pain started. They did blood work and a CT scan. They said it had been caught so early, he could choose the treatment - antibiotics or surgery because he still did not even have an elevated white blood cell count. He chose the antibiotics and we were on our way home from the ER within 4 hours of when the pain started. Without your video, we would have probably waited longer and he would not have had such an easy recovery. Thank you so much!!!

    I had my appendix removed when I was 59. My symptom was feeling like I needed to pass gas. Found out later it actually was perforated.

    Hi! Very useful information! I just had my surgery 3 days ago. Still in some pain, I had 3 types of antibiotics before the surgery, no complications during the intervention, 24 hrs later I was out of the hospital, went home only with pct and codeine.

    I had my appendix removed and it grew back. The doctors were stunned. Little did they know that I come from the planet Xenor where our organs grow back.

    Why no mention on how antibiotics only can be a first line treatment instead of surgery?

    Mine started by heartburn. Didnt subside by Gaviscon or Pepto Bismal and i felt nauseous and it worsened. I went to emergency and they did labwork and I had a high white blood cell count. After this resukt the doctor sent me for a CT scan. My nausea and heartburn eventually moved to my lower right quadrant, which was painful for me to walk. Was admitted to the unit and had laparoscopic surgery. 3 incisions were made. After surgery it was PAINFUL going from supine to sitting. Recovery was slow and painful. The nurses want you to try and get up and moving as this will help to recover sooner.
