A member asked:
Can you tell me if it's appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, you should ...: See your doc. The early symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain that starts diffusely or around the bellybutton and then localizes to the right lower quadrant (rlq) of the abdomen; some nausea, maybe vomiting; and decreased appetite. Early signs of appendicitis are tenderness that ultimately localizes to the rlq; there is discomfort with movement (e.g., the bumps in the road cause pain).
