Sharp intermittent pain on right side..how do you know if appendix or b.m? i have had a b.m. today as well as yesterday but have this pain.

Nature of pain: With acute appendicitis, the pain would normally be steady rather than intermittent. It would be aggravated by walking, with significant tenderness to touch in the right (usually lower) abdomen.
