A member asked:
Might i possibly have gotten appendicitis on the left side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your: Appendix is on the right although a very long appendix can stretch to the left side. Interestingly diverticulitis occurs on the left side and was known as left sided appendicitis as the symptoms were the same as appendicitis but on the left side. If you are symptomatic, see your doctor or go to the er.
