Does Swelling And Pulsating Ache Between Hip And Belly Button Indicate Appendicitis?

For the last few weeks i have had to rush to the loo to have but no diarroah then thurs night i started getting stabbing pains on my right side between my hip and bellybutton which became so painful during the night so i went to A and E and waited 3.5 to be seen and by then the pain had subsided so i discharged myself but i just dont feel right...swelling and a constant pulsating ache....could this be the start of appendicitus?

is not consistent with the same .
