if it's been going on for that long and the pain really is excruciating I would suggest A&E - the place you described is where your appendix is...really hope you'll be ok :redface:

Once the peritoneum becomes inflamed, the pain changes and then can be localized clearly to one small area. Generally, this area is between the front of the right hip bone and the belly button.

Really sounds like it could be appendicitis...not to alarm you, but i would get to a dr asap, better safe than sorry.

Check if there's any blood, you could have been shot. Look out at the trees and check for strange figures.

I went to the doctors, and they said it was too early to tell what it was. Dr said it could be a grumbling appendix, or summat else....but to go back if it got worse....
Just try to relax and sit it out. If you start throwing up get yourself to A&E, as it'll almost certainly be appendicitis.

Its about 1" down from my belly button, and about 2" across(to the right). I thought it might be ovulation pains (not period pains) but Im not sure. :s: Its kinda like stabbing, but constant pains (wierd description). I think Im gonna pop down into the doctors tomorrow, but any ideas? Im in real pain - even through all the pain killers...

Hmmm, what you just described is where my appendex scar is!!!

I would go to A&E tbh but I'm just speaking from experiance; the pain got an incredible amount worse plus the doctors do loads of prodding. If it is appendicitus they tend to need to operate on it straight away just in case you get a case like mine where it literally popped as it came out! I cried cause i could have it in a jar:frown: If it is just them grumbling then at least they can give you better pain-killers.

I don't know how much the doctors would help. When I went they told me I had a water infection then I got really sick. So get yourself to an A&E girl!
