A member asked:
Can you have an active appendix? i have been having sharp pains in my lrq that are real quick stabs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stabbing pain: Probably not active appendicitis as usually one gets sicker by the hour. May be scar tissue from previous surgery or bowel pains. Are you constipated? If pains get worse see your doctor?
