Appendix. Left or right side?!


Question: Appendix. Left or right side.?
So, I am at work and right after lunch I get this very uncomfortable pain on the right side of my stomach. I know it is not my stomach itself. So, I took some tums I took some Gas-X(thinking it was gas/air) and finally I tried some Pepto. Nothing worked. So now I am getting nervous because what if it is my appendix.? I have no idea where it located within our bodies. Any one with any useful info. or suggestions, I would love to hear them. also, I have heard that you never know when it is your appendix that is causing a person pain. Is that true.? You don't get any warning signs.? I also heard that if your appendix bursts, you are in serious danger. Is the bursting part even true.? And if it is, is it deadly.?.?
Please, HELP!!!!!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Your appendix is approximately two to three inches from the naval and down on the right side. It is a small sac that is attached to the large intestine. At times is flares up then you have what they call appendicitis. They say there is no known use for it, but I say if the Good Lord put it there, it is there for aa reason. They just can't figure it out. It can burst and then you will have to have an emergency operation to remove it. If I was you I would go to the Doctor have have him/her check it out to make sure that it is the appendix. Don't wait to long. This is the first time you felt this pain so I would say your chances of it bursting right away are slim, but then again, I wouldn't hesitate getting it check right away. The appendix gets blocked with body toxins and those toxins can cause you a host of problems if the appendix bursts. Best to you young lady and good luck. Please don't hesitate going to the Doctor.Health Question & Answer

While not likely, you CAN die if it burst, but if caught quickly, you will only be on antibiotics after they suck out all the crap from your abdomen.

like everyone mentioned, lower right side. I felt like I was being stabbed from the inside over and over again, about two inches to the right of the belly button, slightly below.Health Question & Answer

If you cant lift your right knee up to your chest its very possible its your appendix. If it bursts the yukcy uk in it spreads inside you...its pretty bad but not usually fatal nowdays. You may have a seed or something lodged in your gall bladder...that can also give a sharp pain...especially as its just after time you noticed this pain.Health Question & Answer
