Son Is In College. Called With Complaint Of Low Abdominal

Son is in college. Called with complaint of low abdominal pain below umbilicus with almost every bowel movement . Going on 2 to 3 weeks. Pain is about an 8 on the pain scale and gradually improves over approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Stool is normal to loose and normal in color. Appetite is ok, no fatigue or fever. Did have episode of pain radiating to back during bowel movement. Has a BM almost every day. Could an appendix act this way?
