A member asked:

I have a dull constant pain in the area of my appendix. no other symptoms. what type of doctor should i visit. i have no "family doctor" due to moving?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Emerg room/Surgeon: You might want to move along to an emergency room or a surgeon. If you are tender there, it may actually be your appendix and you do not want it to rupture. Whoever can see you fastest is the answer.
