Sometimes: Try lifting the left leg as high up to the chest. If tremendous pain, but little or no pain when doing the same with the right leg, then possible, but always see doctor / hospital for a diagnosis of appendicitis.

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 with vomiting; and decreased appetite (anorexia). Early signs of appendicitis are abdominal tenderness that ultimately localizes to the rlq; there is discomfort with movement (e.g., the bumps in the road cause pain).
