A member asked:

What is the reason behind left lower quadrant pain in appendicitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Appendicitis: Although i searched for pain on the left side, I could not find a reason. As you know the pain may start in the middle of the abdomen and then migrate to the lower right. Appetite goes away. With time the pain becomes worse and treatment (surgical) is needed before it bursts
