What Are The Signs Of Appendicitis?

Hello, I got a stabbing pain in my rt side about even with my belly button last night, it lasted a few hours and went away. Its come back now. I ve had sharp pain in that spot before but its only lasted a few moments and gone away. I am currently waiting on lab work for the possibility of adrenal system issues. My mother is worried that this might be an appendicitis and that we might need to take me to the ER.

Hi.
With the history you have given you may be suffering from appendicitis.
The pain of appendicitis starts at the umbilical region, lasts for a few hours , may follow by a period of few hours of silence , to reappear at the right iliac fossa.
This may be associated with vomiting, loss of appetite, fever and so on depending upon the severity of appendicitis.
Ultrasonography is an investigation of choice and CT scan to confirm if necessary
Looks into issue of adrenals
If diagnosed as appendicitis , best way is to get operated .
