A member asked:
How long does it usually take for appendicitis to get worse and require hospital attention? worried i have it but been experiencing abdominal pain for about 4 weeks and dont notice any sharp pain or pain getting worse and able to jump ok i guess?

Your description is inconsistent with acute appendicitis, and not feasible to objectify based upon your brief description. Would certainly recommend you visit your doctor and get this handled. We can assess more thoroughly via a virtual consult here at HT (www.connect@healthtap.com)
