A member asked:

Can you feel stress or anxiety pain where appendix is located ? i'm just wondering since you can have low abdomen pain with stress & anxiety

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Yes it's possible that anxiety could create lower abdomen pain. However, if you worry that pain is from appendix, you should have it checked by your primary doctor. This should ease your mind.
