A member asked:
Still in pain but my ct scan said i don't have appendicitis which was taken with no contrast. it was also taken 5 days after the pain started. true?

Its not appendicitis: I think it fair to say that a ct is probably one of the most sensitive tests to eliminate the diagnosis of appendicitis. So if it negative, time to look for another diagnosis.
