Lower right abdominal pain for 5 days. when i press down on the area i can feel a tube like structure could this be my appendix? it's very painful

Maybe. Maybe not.: Lower right abdominal pain can be from many things. Appendicitis is always a concern (pain usually worsens over time, with fever coming on). If very constipated for several days, stool can back up all the way to the right side, and cause pain. A hernia, a twist in the bowel, or an ovary problem can cause pain. Can call one's doctor or go to an ER. An appendix is too small to feel from the outside.
