Go to ER: If in doubt, go to er. Appendicitis can evolve slowly and then you can have rapid deterioration when it really cranks up. "tender abdomens" always make me nervous. If your abdomen hurts when you ride in a car or if you lie down on the floor and somebody taps the bottom of your feet, it's called a "peritoneal sign" and it means that you have something brewing in your abdomen. If in doubt, go.
