A member asked:
Could sharpness of appendicitis pain come and go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Pain from appendicitis usually becomes gradually worse as the inflammation of the appendix worsens. In rare cases, this can heal itself, then recur at another time. Intermittent right lower quadrant abdominal pain however is usually not appendicitis. See your doctor for an exam to be sure. And if you think it is the appendix, head to the er.

A member asked:
With an appendicitis, is the pain consistent or does it come and go? I'm having sharp pains in my lower right abdominal area. They have come and gone for about a week. But today, the pain has increased and ongoing and it moves from the front to the back.
