A member asked:
I was lifting 10 pound weights and when i went to put one down i accidentally rammed it into my stomach exactly where my appendix is. will i be ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The appendix lies fairly deep and it would be difficult to rupture from that type of trauma. The appendix ruptures when the lining is inflamed and abscessed, hence friable, diseased and weak!
