A member asked:
What muscles are there near the appendix. i think i have appendicitis but ct scan said i don't but i still thonk i do!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Because the appendix is somewhat mobile (it can move around somewhat) inside the abdomen, the location of pain can depend on where the appendix is and what structures it resides next to.
