A member asked:
Can you rupture an appendix from pressing on it or jumping pulling your leg up to your stomach etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: The appendix is fairly deep in your abdomen protected by layers. If you have pain from jumping/pulling it is likely a muscle strain or depending on location, a hernia. Hope that helps.
