My husband has pain in his appendix ( right lower side) and the pain shoots down his leg. hurts more when sitting down?

Need doctor to check: Lower right abdominal pain can be from many things. Appendicitis is always a concern (pain usually worsens over time, with fever coming on). If one is constipated for several days, stool can back up all the way to the right side, and cause pain. A hernia, a twisted bowel, or a testicle problem can cause pain. Can contact one's doctor now or go to an ER (consider calling 911 if no ride to the ER).
