A member asked:
Sharp pain in lower right abdomen? appendicitis is not a quick sharp pain, right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Appendicitis starts with about 8 hours of pain around the belly button, and then moves to the right lower abdomen, becomes sharper, and steadily more severe within 12-24 hours to the point that you can't stand it and go to the er. This sounds more like muscle spasms in one of the three muscles that make up the abdominal wall, but you should see your primary provider for an evaluation. God luck!

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.
