I am two weeks post surgery. The pain came out of nowhere. I was not hungry the night before and woke up with severe pain, nausea, and vomiting. Went to the ER and after a CT scan was on the operating table within 30 minutes with a blood infection. It’s no joke how quickly this can sneak up on you. Don’t ignore the pain.
I’m 5 days post op. I didn’t have any of the typical symptoms. Only had abdominal. Went to the med stop, they thought it was a UTI or kidney stone but to see my doctor. See my doctor the next day and she sent be straight to the ER for fear of appendicitis. One day later, I had an appendectomy and was discharged later that day. I haven’t taken any pain meds post op either. Just sore and bruised up.
I’m scared right now this didn’t happen to me but what did was I had a uncomfortable spot to the right lower belly it went down to my waistband a little under and it’s a little tender but that’s it there is no symptoms and it’s been going on for 4 days but I can walk jump run stretch and everything
I have occasionally wondered what purpose the appendix serves for the human body. It's something that still baffles dozens of people in the world and in the medical community. For the most part people think that the appendix is the most useless internal organ.
One thing that happened to me was the pain mimicked ovulation pain---it started more as a back pain, which I was so used to, I ignored it. I even had a dressage lesson (riding horses) during what was an appendicitis attack, and it ruptured the next day(riding did not cause the rupture). The pain I had was like a gas pain behind my navel first, and lower back. Once it ruptured, it then moved to the lower right side and mother of god, that whole experience was the most pain I've had, and my pain threshold is very high. Upon diagnosis and surgery, the surgeon said my appendix ruptured with such force, it split in 2. Thank GOD I had a good surgeon and medical team, and I loathe antibiotics so the stuff they put me on ,while it made me so sick, it killed pretty much everything.
Darkhorse3211 you shouldn’t loathe antibiotics, before them people died of simple infection, appendicitis was essentially a death sentence if it ruptured. Love antibiotics, you’re alive because they were discovered.
Had this when I was about 4 years old, then last year I had abdominal pain, it was an intestinal obstruction. Had emergency surgery, doctors explained to me it was a result of having appendectomy. Crazy to think that now I'm 24 years old, and the doctors told me that it is lifetime every 20 years that it can occur.
@@osmosis home from surgery, hurts like hell... Removed appendix and some intestine. This video helped me so much when the doctors and surgeons breezed in to talk, I was fully up to speed. This is the good side of what RUclips can be.
Had mine removed yesterday after a night of hell recovery sucks but still better than the pain felt before the surgery … unbearable and I never have stomach aches that last all night so I knew something was wrong 🙏🏼🙏🏼 pain was terrible to say the least .. wishing myself and all a speedy recovery
I have pain near the appendix when i lie down n move my legs but no other symptoms idk whats going on its not a very intense pain but it seems ro be getting worse
I absolutely love all of your videos. They are so informative and easy to understand when you’re looking for information and don’t necessarily understand all those “doctor terms”. Thank you!

These videos are so very helpful, and I have been using them for my patho class. I wish I had found out sooner tho 😭 you guys are amazing and thank you so much for making life much easier ❤️
I’m about a week post surgery. I don’t remember eating too much that day but I did have a large order of Taco Bell nacho fries lol. I then took a nap with my fiancée and then I woke up to pain in my lower right abdomen. I was cautious with my movements and that night I decided to sleep it off and to not assume the worst just yet and hope it was just constipation. Well, I woke up the next day and the pain hadn’t left, it didn’t really get worse though. But because I limited my movements I didn’t want to leave my bed the whole day and by evening time I had my fiancée take me to the ER where it was revealed that I indeed had appendicitis. So far so good after a week of surgery (laparoscopic) and am hopeful to be fully recovered here soon! Hope y’all stay healthy! (:
Both my mom and dad has had appendicitis , where a tiny bit of food, being a part of the intestines, gets stuck and causes it to inflame and it causes severe pain and what happened with my dad was his exploded. But you have to get it surgically removed before it explodes. If it explodes they clean your insides out leaving a bigger scar.
My brother is currently undergoing appendectomy, this video helped me calm down... don't think I'll be able to sleep, but it is well explained and easy. Thank you very much.
some people believe the appendix stores bacteria which can help you recover after being sick, but you can still be completely normal without it. just might take a little longer to recover from a stomach bug :)
I have just gotten a Laparoscopic Appendectomy. The abdominal pain leading up to my surgery was the most painful thing that I have ever experienced in my life. Thank God, It is now gone. I really dont want to experience that again.
My Dad was diabetic but I believe he died from appendicitis because he cried the whole time in hospital and complained of all the symptoms 😭😭😭. The doctor said it was swollen liver but I truly believe it was appendicitis.

One hell of an experience I had at the age of 12 when I felt this pain. Mine ruptured after first having a tummy ache that we thought would just go away after visiting the toilet. The pain can kill.
I was admitted to the hospital a few days ago and at first they suspected appendicitis. But I did not have the re-bound pain, I also did not have the white blood cell response. But the CT scan clearly showed my appendix was dilated to 2 cm, double the normal size. Apparently, there was some kind of infection that was affecting not just my appendix but the colon tissue around it. They decided not to operate immediately because my appendix did not appear to have ruptured and they didn't want to operate with all the infection in the surrounding area. I spent 3 days in hospital doing IV antibiotics and now I'm at home continuing antibiotic treatment. I guess they're going to do an appendectomy later on. They said that I did not present like a typical case of appendicitis. I'm curious if any experts out there have thoughts on what other things could be going on. I of course asked my doctors this question but they didn't seem to have direct answers. They said they could rule out a tumor, but otherwise are still trying to figure it out. I'm due back for a CT scan update once I finish my home antibiotics.
I've had appendicitis when I was 9. It was not fun. It caused me to throw up, and the abdominal pain was extremely intense. Went to the hospital the next day to undergo surgery and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. This was very informative.
@@aktsukibits6184 Thanks he is good now . I hope she get well soon. My bf had a stomachache 2 months ago & went to a doctor to get his appendix checked.. he got surgery and doesn't have the appendix now; he also said that it didn't hurt too much, however he needs to recover so he remained in hospital for 2 days.
I worked all day in pain, went home and laid on my bathroom floor for hours until I had the strength to go the hospital. My pain was level 10 unbearable.
This video is amazing for understanding the condition better. Thank you for that. The only thing that should've been mentioned is the fact that symptoms might vary from a person to a person because of some reasons. Other than that, truly a great video
Just had mine out 5 days ago. l had sudden severe abdominal pain near my belly button. I had laparoscopy and feel pretty good. Just a bit sore. l knew of your appendix but wasn't really aware of where it was or what it looked like. great illustration!
I once back about 10 years ago had all these symptoms but they couldn’t find any blockage so my doctor told me it probably somehow just got inflamed since then I’ve had no issue it was just a weird event
really good animation, it is also important to remark that there is also an antibiotic treatment in acute appendicitis, and shows resolution in a 70% of the cases
I have appendicitis, It hurts to move, it's really annoying. not painful enough to cry but painful enough to not want to JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR THE 100 TIME! (i was forced to jump alot.) so don't kill your appendix!
I had my appendix removed in early July 2016. I had pain on my right side a little bit over 24 hours. It was hard for me to walked because of the pain. I didn’t eat all day because of it. I did drank some water. I didn’t know that I had a fever because it was during the summer. My was gangrene. When I was in surgery for 3 hours. After I woke up in recovery room that for a second that I didn’t know where I was. I felt liked my old self after the surgery. I was a little bit weak. Even my mood was much better. I even joked to the nurses at the hospital.
Hi, My mother's appendix ruptured and she didn't do anything about it for 5-6 days and she had her surgery today and the doctor said it went well and they cleared all the infection, but they said they found something hard in the abdomen (stomach) / intestines. ) they say there may be an infection gathered there, do you think the infection, bacteria collection could cause such a thing or could it be a tumor? Is this normal or appendicitis due to infection?
@@osmosis I had my appendix removed when I was nine and the pain from the appendicitis was so bad that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie. I was having copious amounts of blood work done and always had a sense of dread whenever the nurses entered my hospital room. Just recently, I learned from my mother that my appendix was so swollen and inflamed that had I waited another day to tell my grandma what was wrong with me; my appendix would have ruptured and I would be dead. Fortunately, I was hospitalized and put on an IV of antibiotics to stave off the possibility of my appendix rupturing. I understandably felt horrible after the surgery; but I eventually made a full recovery and I have been able to live my life without my appendix.
Around twice a year, I experience intense pain in my stomach, that means I am petrified of leaving the toilet, in intense pain, dizzy from said pain, etc. It subsides after about 30 minutes. It is absolutely the kind of pain that you focus entirely on. I wonder if I have appendicitis.
Don't forget to mention the insane, death-like pain in your stomach when your appendix bursts. This shit is so strong not even oral morphine lowered the pain.
My appendix ruptured years ago.... it was so bad I could barely even walk. Felt like being stabbed over and over again but the pain just never dissipated. It was horrible.
I can relate to this because I had appendicitis when I was nine and the pain was so excruciating that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie.
Kiddkumbiaa Breezy you better get it checked out because i have been getting pain by my belly & bloating nausea vomiting for passed eight months. Ignored it til two weeks ago i got it again but this time i got an excruciating pain in my right lower abdomen. It was terrible i was so scared i n r had surgery before.I almost went into sepsis shock. I got it removed 10-16 6:30am ugh i was in so much pain after for the first week of recovery. I feel so much better now! Get it chked out!
lorraine candlestorm Get checked asap! If it ruptures you can die or end up in ICU. I had mine removed I was terrified but try to relax your mind and body so you will have a successful surgery & recovery. I dont feel any pain now.
That sucks im very sorry for yall may god bless & yall get well , i just ate 3 sour heads hard candy & contains acid so i just felt this stabbing sharp pain again by belly button that comes & goes
What are the examples of "undigested seeds"? Because as far as I know, seeds like chilli seeds or watermelon seeds do not cause appendicitis. I need clarification, help. thank you!
I had this about 13 years ago. My appendix burst and had an emergency surgery. I suspect it's all the gum and plastic I swallowed as a kid. All I recall was the pain...no word can describe it!
Wow. That was really well-explained, easy to understand and helpful. I loved all of the details, explanations, drawings, words and definitions. Thank you!
I woke up this morning to discomfort on my right side. Later, the discomfort moved to my lower back. Hours later, discomfort moved back to my right side. Hoping its constipation, I tried to use the bathroom to see if the pain would go away. It subsided. 8 hours later, as I was leaving work, I felt an excruciating, sharp but kinda dull pain on my right side. Struggling to drive home, the pain finally subsided again. Prolly lasted about 20 minutes. Tried to sleep it off, hoping when I wake, it'll go away. I awoke. It's midnight. I don't feel any pain. But there is a lingering effect feeling on my right side. Started googling and searching on youtube, and now I'm here. As I'm writing, the pain came back. I shifted my body weight to my right side, and it feels okay at the moment. I'm afraid. But I'm hoping... hoping... but I'm afraid.😨 (if that made any sense.) I know I gotta have it checked out, but... I guess I'm just looking for a second opinion. I dont know 😢 or maybe I'm just stalling time. Whatever my case may be, I'm scared.
same here. thought i had the stomach flu til i went to the ER cause the pain was so bad. Took a cat scan and lo and behold, my appendix burst and I had already had peritonitis. Open surgery and they even left the top layer of the wound open to heal. Formed an ugly scar that I later had corrected by a plastic surgeon almost 20 years later. Worst experience of my life but im grateful to be alive.
My w dad got appendicitis. He already thought he had it, so he went to the hospital. He was correct.and had to have his appendix removed. Now he has.a shirt that says appendix free. 😂
I'm in pain on my lower abdomen on my right. this tends to happen to me rarely but this has happened to me before .it was nothing in the end . should I consult a doctor ? what may it be ?
yes, tell the doctor about what you are feeling. I don't think you have appendicitis. i know what it feels like and it SUCKS. i got it a few days ago. appendicitis is CONSTANT pain.

How long will it take to burst? I experienced a stomach ache last night on the right side of my abdomin and it is really really painful. I honestly dont like to undergo operation bcz i dont want to have scars. Is there a way to stop the swelling and go back to normal?
I went to immediate Care cuz I thought I had a stomach bug or something but nope I had appendicitis and I had to get rushed in an ambulance from immediate Care to the hospital and I had to get surgery. It's been 2 days after my surgery and im back home now and recovering. Luckily it didn't burst and the doctors were able to get it out before it did. Im feeling better and starting to move around a lot more now :) I recommend that if you have constant pain on your right side of your stomach, get it checked out immediately!
What's the immediate solution to do as my wife is suffering from a abdomen pain which suspect it's appendicitis. Is there a remedy to reduce her pain. Please help me as in Sri Lanka it's 1.30 am. There are no doctors around. I would be always thankful to you.
We care for you and your wife, Shareen. But unfortunately we don’t provide medical advice through this channel. We’d recommend reaching out to a local health professional for any consultation and diagnosis of your condition.
Just got out the hospital crazy sharp pains out of nowhere one night. Thought it was just a stomach ache. Went to sleep woke up in serve pain screaming got to the hospital was in surgery in about an hour. They were slow moving. It was Appendicitis
The recovery is about a week. I was not allowed to carry any weight above 10-15 lbs for 2 weeks after my surgery, but this was not a large consequence in my case. For a few days after surgery you will struggle to walk normally and you may have pain in odd places like your shoulder. Walking is fine a few days later and isn't very painful. You may experience shoulder pains due to the gas that was pumped inside you for the surgery moving around. From your very small description, this sounds fairly similar to my symptoms, however, since it's a small description, I would consult your doctor first. If you do have appendicitis, don't worry. It was my first ever surgery and it went better than ever. If you get an older surgeon, don't be worried, it's actually good in most cases because it means they're experienced and won't be nervous or scared like younger, new surgeons. Good luck!
Wow. Thank you for the well explained and informative video. I wish you added how much time does each stage usually need to develop. I'll be thankful if you could answer my question.
I had my appendix removed when I was nine and the pain was so unbearable that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie. Once I was hospitalized for this reason; I was having so much blood work done that I would have a sense of dread when the nurses arrived in my room. I did feel like a piece of shit after the surgery; but I was eventually able to get caught up on my weight.
i operated appendix 30 years back when I had unbearable pain on lower right side of abdomina. Now again I had the same after 35 years. What it could be when I have removed appendix long ago??? thanks
just got out of surgery for this. worst pain ever! cant eat or drink without immediately throwing it back up. if you feel you may have appendicitis get checked IMMEDIATELY
what's the difference between appendicitis in adults, children and pregnant women? aren't the symptoms and areas different? can you make a comparison video on them too?thanks
Appendicitis symptoms are same no matter the age. Depending on the location of one's appendix the location of the pain may vary. Can be a periumbilical which can migrate to the right lower abdomen. Associated with nausea and vomiting, anorexia and /or fever. It is an emergency surgical case.
Ive been having this Poking Feeling in my lower part of the Rib cage...I told my Friends and they told me it might be this and i should Consolt a Doctor..I want too, i told my Mom bought she said its Probably nothing and im Scared..

I once back about 10 years ago had all these symptoms but they couldn’t find any blockage so my doctor told me it probably somehow just got inflamed since then I’ve had no issue it was just a weird event
really good animation, it is also important to remark that there is also an antibiotic treatment in acute appendicitis, and shows resolution in a 70% of the cases
Hi AndrowsYLG, thanks for the comment! We're happy to review our content. Can you point us towards a credible source that supports the figure?

I have appendicitis, It hurts to move, it's really annoying.
not painful enough to cry but painful enough to not want to JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR THE 100 TIME! (i was forced to jump alot.)
so don't kill your appendix!
Ty.
I self diagnosed. Heading to ER NOW!
So what did it end up beeing?
I had my appendix removed in early July 2016. I had pain on my right side a little bit over 24 hours. It was hard for me to walked because of the pain. I didn’t eat all day because of it. I did drank some water. I didn’t know that I had a fever because it was during the summer. My was gangrene. When I was in surgery for 3 hours. After I woke up in recovery room that for a second that I didn’t know where I was. I felt liked my old self after the surgery. I was a little bit weak. Even my mood was much better. I even joked to the nurses at the hospital.
Hi, My mother's appendix ruptured and she didn't do anything about it for 5-6 days and she had her surgery today and the doctor said it went well and they cleared all the infection, but they said they found something hard in the abdomen (stomach) / intestines. ) they say there may be an infection gathered there, do you think the infection, bacteria collection could cause such a thing or could it be a tumor? Is this normal or appendicitis due to infection?
OMG, how do you make these videos? they are amazing. Good job man, and great explanations.

@@osmosis I had my appendix removed when I was nine and the pain from the appendicitis was so bad that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie. I was having copious amounts of blood work done and always had a sense of dread whenever the nurses entered my hospital room. Just recently, I learned from my mother that my appendix was so swollen and inflamed that had I waited another day to tell my grandma what was wrong with me; my appendix would have ruptured and I would be dead. Fortunately, I was hospitalized and put on an IV of antibiotics to stave off the possibility of my appendix rupturing. I understandably felt horrible after the surgery; but I eventually made a full recovery and I have been able to live my life without my appendix.
Around twice a year, I experience intense pain in my stomach, that means I am petrified of leaving the toilet, in intense pain, dizzy from said pain, etc. It subsides after about 30 minutes. It is absolutely the kind of pain that you focus entirely on. I wonder if I have appendicitis.
Don't forget to mention the insane, death-like pain in your stomach when your appendix bursts. This shit is so strong not even oral morphine lowered the pain.
My appendix ruptured years ago.... it was so bad I could barely even walk. Felt like being stabbed over and over again but the pain just never dissipated. It was horrible.
I can relate to this because I had appendicitis when I was nine and the pain was so excruciating that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie.
Think i might have my abdomen is been hurting really close to the belly button but man , idk im afraid i never had surgery
Kiddkumbiaa Breezy you better get it checked out because i have been getting pain by my belly & bloating nausea vomiting for passed eight months. Ignored it til two weeks ago i got it again but this time i got an excruciating pain in my right lower abdomen. It was terrible i was so scared i n r had surgery before.I almost went into sepsis shock. I got it removed 10-16 6:30am ugh i was in so much pain after for the first week of recovery. I feel so much better now! Get it chked out!
Kiddkumbiaa Breezy I'm worried too I have has stuff like yours and I'm worried if I do a d I need surgery I have never had it before either
lorraine candlestorm Get checked asap! If it ruptures you can die or end up in ICU. I had mine removed I was terrified but try to relax your mind and body so you will have a successful surgery & recovery. I dont feel any pain now.
That sucks im very sorry for yall may god bless & yall get well , i just ate 3 sour heads hard candy & contains acid so i just felt this stabbing sharp pain again by belly button that comes & goes
Kiddkumbiaa Breezy
What are the examples of "undigested seeds"? Because as far as I know, seeds like chilli seeds or watermelon seeds do not cause appendicitis. I need clarification, help. thank you!
I had this about 13 years ago. My appendix burst and had an emergency surgery. I suspect it's all the gum and plastic I swallowed as a kid. All I recall was the pain...no word can describe it!
Just in time!! thank u so much
a really great video !
finals start on Sunday :o
+Reem Hussain Glad we could help!
Wow. That was really well-explained, easy to understand and helpful. I loved all of the details, explanations, drawings, words and definitions. Thank you!
You're welcome. =)
I woke up this morning to discomfort on my right side.
Later, the discomfort moved to my lower back. Hours later, discomfort moved back to my right side. Hoping its constipation, I tried to use the bathroom to see if the pain would go away. It subsided.
8 hours later, as I was leaving work, I felt an excruciating, sharp but kinda dull pain on my right side. Struggling to drive home, the pain finally subsided again. Prolly lasted about 20 minutes. Tried to sleep it off, hoping when I wake, it'll go away.
I awoke. It's midnight. I don't feel any pain. But there is a lingering effect feeling on my right side. Started googling and searching on youtube, and now I'm here. As I'm writing, the pain came back. I shifted my body weight to my right side, and it feels okay at the moment. I'm afraid. But I'm hoping... hoping... but I'm afraid.😨 (if that made any sense.)
I know I gotta have it checked out, but... I guess I'm just looking for a second opinion. I dont know 😢 or maybe I'm just stalling time. Whatever my case may be, I'm scared.
any update man im kinda in the same boat
I had a ruptured appendicitis, had to have open surgery which burst, leaving the wound to heal from the inside out, almost killed me!
same here. thought i had the stomach flu til i went to the ER cause the pain was so bad. Took a cat scan and lo and behold, my appendix burst and I had already had peritonitis. Open surgery and they even left the top layer of the wound open to heal. Formed an ugly scar that I later had corrected by a plastic surgeon almost 20 years later. Worst experience of my life but im grateful to be alive.
Excellent video!
But is there any altenative way of treating Appendicitis other than surgery?? Especially when it's in tenderness pain?
Omg worse pain ever! Had my appendix removed yesterday and I am glad to be free of that pain @_@
My w dad got appendicitis. He already thought he had it, so he went to the hospital. He was correct.and had to have his appendix removed. Now he has.a shirt that says appendix free. 😂
3:02 i have all of the symptoms but nausea, threw up 2 times, but the middle of my body hurts.

I'm in pain on my lower abdomen on my right.
this tends to happen to me rarely but this has happened to me before .it was nothing in the end .
should I consult a doctor ? what may it be ?
yes, tell the doctor about what you are feeling.
I don't think you have appendicitis.
i know what it feels like and it SUCKS.
i got it a few days ago.
appendicitis is CONSTANT pain.

Good channels thanks a lot for all members working in
but why don't mention Alvarado score for diagnosis in appendicitis?!
How long will it take to burst? I experienced a stomach ache last night on the right side of my abdomin and it is really really painful. I honestly dont like to undergo operation bcz i dont want to have scars. Is there a way to stop the swelling and go back to normal?
Pat Nazarian 😂😂 lmao but fr is the op doing alright now?? You got it checked out right?
you can find solution on my channel
Very useful message and clear about it thank you for the video...
Amazingly explained👌🏼👌🏼
My dad texted me a link to this video when I had surgery in the children’s hospital
Hope it helped! 😊
excellently explained in a short clip... good job 👍
I went to immediate Care cuz I thought I had a stomach bug or something but nope I had appendicitis and I had to get rushed in an ambulance from immediate Care to the hospital and I had to get surgery. It's been 2 days after my surgery and im back home now and recovering. Luckily it didn't burst and the doctors were able to get it out before it did. Im feeling better and starting to move around a lot more now :) I recommend that if you have constant pain on your right side of your stomach, get it checked out immediately!
basically, anyone can get appendicitis at any point in their life
which means that no one is safe
i love the way things r explained ....keep going
What's the immediate solution to do as my wife is suffering from a abdomen pain which suspect it's appendicitis. Is there a remedy to reduce her pain. Please help me as in Sri Lanka it's 1.30 am. There are no doctors around. I would be always thankful to you.
We care for you and your wife, Shareen. But unfortunately we don’t provide medical advice through this channel. We’d recommend reaching out to a local health professional for any consultation and diagnosis of your condition.
the little appendix that comes out at 2:01 so cute lol
I thought it came because he said "moist"
Love the explanations, watched your Jaundice video earlier and it was great.
+Hardip Gill Thanks so much!!
THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!
Glad we could help. Take care.
Excellent Video Thanks.
Our pleasure! 😊
Just got out the hospital crazy sharp pains out of nowhere one night. Thought it was just a stomach ache. Went to sleep woke up in serve pain screaming got to the hospital was in surgery in about an hour. They were slow moving. It was Appendicitis
How long is recovery after surgery? Really really worried i might have this, although its only a slight pain which comes and go's
The recovery is about a week. I was not allowed to carry any weight above 10-15 lbs for 2 weeks after my surgery, but this was not a large consequence in my case. For a few days after surgery you will struggle to walk normally and you may have pain in odd places like your shoulder. Walking is fine a few days later and isn't very painful. You may experience shoulder pains due to the gas that was pumped inside you for the surgery moving around. From your very small description, this sounds fairly similar to my symptoms, however, since it's a small description, I would consult your doctor first. If you do have appendicitis, don't worry. It was my first ever surgery and it went better than ever. If you get an older surgeon, don't be worried, it's actually good in most cases because it means they're experienced and won't be nervous or scared like younger, new surgeons. Good luck!
appendicitis has constant pain when you move, it gets worse by being CONSTANT pain when you don't move.
thank you very very much u made it easy for me this video was very helpful how can i say thank you
Glad it helped, Anahita! 🥰❤️🙏🏼
I love the sound effects and the seductive worm
was looking for this comment 😂😂
Favorite channel ❤
Wow. Thank you for the well explained and informative video.
I wish you added how much time does each stage usually need to develop.
I'll be thankful if you could answer my question.
I had my appendix removed when I was nine and the pain was so unbearable that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie. Once I was hospitalized for this reason; I was having so much blood work done that I would have a sense of dread when the nurses arrived in my room. I did feel like a piece of shit after the surgery; but I was eventually able to get caught up on my weight.
i operated appendix 30 years back when I had unbearable pain on lower right side of abdomina. Now again I had the same after 35 years. What it could be when I have removed appendix long ago??? thanks
Bashir Khan your appendix can grow back so it could happen
No spare body parts did God give us you will continue to br sick if you don't change your diet 💜
pretty entertaining and informative! good job!
That little worm that comes in and raises its eyebrows at you oh my god I can’t 😂
Haha! Glad you liked that bit! 🤓
just got out of surgery for this. worst pain ever! cant eat or drink without immediately throwing it back up. if you feel you may have appendicitis get checked IMMEDIATELY
what's the difference between appendicitis in adults, children and pregnant women? aren't the symptoms and areas different? can you make a comparison video on them too?thanks
Appendicitis symptoms are same no matter the age. Depending on the location of one's appendix the location of the pain may vary. Can be a periumbilical which can migrate to the right lower abdomen. Associated with nausea and vomiting, anorexia and /or fever. It is an emergency surgical case.
Just come from hospital with appendicitis. It hurts so bad
Thanks that’s really comforting, my mum is in hospital right now and might have appendicitis. It obviously isn’t too serious.
It is serious.
I had my appendix removed on vacation to Disney World. Now my RUclips history is filled of appendicitis videos 😂
Ive been having this Poking Feeling in my lower part of the Rib cage...I told my Friends and they told me it might be this and i should Consolt a Doctor..I want too, i told my Mom bought she said its Probably nothing and im Scared..
What if the patient doesn't experience fever or vomiting just abdominal pain?
you might have something.
if you feel CONSTANT pain, that's appendicitis.
Mparker123wolf thank you it turned out to be typhoid instead
