Can getting punch in the appendix cause it to inflame or to burst or cause appendicitis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blunt trauma: ...as described is unlikely to inflame the appendix in its classic anatomic location, but of course anything's possible. If you are experiencing symptoms of concern, proceed immediately to your provider for evaluation please.
