Appendicitis or constipation? slight cramping in lower right stomach, didn't start near naval. not painful just slight discomfort. no pain to touch

Appendicitis: Usually accompanied by fever, severe pain, tenderness, nausea, possibly vomiting. Cannot diagnose you without an exam, but it sounds as if appendicitis is not likely. If you remain concerned please see a doctor.
