Tailbone..: You may have injured your tailbone, including possible fracture or dislocation. You need to sit on a doughnut pillow and get it evaluated so you know what you are dealing with and what may help it. It can really be a big pain in the a**!

Anaerobic metabolism: Push the body's need for oxygen beyond the oxygen supply, and glucose will be burned to Lactic Acid which then accumulates. The Lactic Acid lower ph so a person compensates by breathing more rapidly to remove carbon dioxide. This is subtle; it also helps the person get a bit more oxygen overall but the deep breathing in athletes is mostly about getting rid of carbon dioxide.

Medication problem: Anyone who has the remote chronic appendicitis should have that diagnosis made after the appendix is out and not still in.
Probable mesenteric adenitis can be like an appendix pain , but your advil and or Premarin (conjugated estrogens) or adhesions from prior surgery could be the cause of the symptom.
