A member asked:

Can appendicits last for 11 days? i went to er, all tests positive, and even had an ultrasound image of my appendix. of 3,8 mm diameter.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UNLIKELY: Its very unlikely that acute appendicitis lasting for more than 10 days, you also had negative testing as you are saying in ER although if you continues to have abdominal pain then you should see your primary care to further evaluate the cause of your pain. Thanks.

A member asked:

My appendix can never be seen on a ct scan (have had a few scans over the last 10 years). This concerns me because Ive never had my appendix removed. How would appendicitis be diagnosed if its not visible on a ct scan?

A member asked:

Are CTs the only test to identify appendicitis? I've had dull, burning or gnawing pain around the appendix for about a week, with no other symptoms. After 3 CTs in 2 years, I'm worried about the radiation. Are there any good CT alternatives?
