A member asked:

Can mcburney's point be painful in anything else than appendicitis? negative labs and us. 5 days appendix type pain. no rebound pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

McBurney's point...: ...is situated over the right side of the abdomen one-third of the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine to the navel. This point roughly corresponds to the most common location of the base of the appendix. There are variations in location of the appendix, & many other causes of right lower quadrant pain--please see my other HealthTap answers on the subject.
