What can be initial signs of appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The early: Symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain that starts diffusely or around the bellybutton & then localizes to the right lower quadrant (rlq) of the abdomen; some nausea, maybe with vomiting; and decreased appetite (anorexia). Early signs of appendicitis are abdominal tenderness that ultimately localizes to the rlq; there is discomfort with movement (e.g., the bumps in the road cause pain).
