Hey Sabrina I'd have it checked as it very well may be appendicitis. Mine was removed 3 days ago and im so glad ive had it removed.

Before christmas i had abdominal pain and constipation for a few days but i dismissed it as just a general upset stomach due to something i had eaten. This Monday just past, I started having the same pain. I went to A & E on Wednesday and they touched the area and were very sure it was the appendix. Further tests confirmed it. I wasnt even gonna go to have it checked and when they said it was appendicitis i was shocked. I was in the theatre the next morning and had it removed.

After surgery, i was told the appendix was badly eroded and gangrenous. I told them about having pain in christmas time too and they told me i shouldve had it checked then as it couldve ruptured.

My advice to u is go to have it checked now. Its important to have it removed before it ruptures or starts decaying as it could affect your blood or other organs.

The actual surgery isnt a complicated one. I now feel bloated and constipated. The actual incision seems to be healing well. Many ppl report shoulder and neck pain and this is called co2 gas pain which occurs after surgery. Thankfully i only experienced this a bit the day after surgery.

To anyone out there who is experiencing abdominal pain without a knowing cause and think it may be the appendix dont be scared to have it checked out. I only went to hospital thinking it was normal cramps and im so happy iv had it removed before further complications.

Good luck Sabrina. I hope its just cramps ur experiencing but theres nothing like peace of mind. All the best
