The early ...: symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain that starts diffusely or around the bellybutton ; then localizes to the right lower quadrant (RLQ) of the abdomen; some nausea, maybe with vomiting; and decreased appetite (anorexia). Early signs of appendicitis are abdominal tenderness that ultimately localizes to the RLQ; there is discomfort with movement (e.g., the bumps in the road cause pain).

SEVERE: At the onset, the pain may be mild and cramping, not unlike a normal stomach ache. However, within 24hrs, the pain changes, "moving" to the right lower abdomen, and becoming sharp, constant, and progressively worsening.
