A member asked:

I'm 16 and ive been having some sort of stomach cramps for a few days and i think it might be appendicitis. i don't have a fever or nausea.

Some basics: The appendix sits next to the big muscle that moves your right leg forward. If it is inflamed you have pain in the lower right abdomen & often cannot walk standing upright. If jumping up/down on your right leg produces a lot of pain it might be appendix. Get checked out if you really think it is appendix. Getting it out before it ruptures is often a simple surgery. Let it rupture & you could die.
