What Are The Symptoms Of Appendicitis And Irritated Abdominal Hernia?
Question: What are the symptoms of appendecitis or an irritated adominal hernia?
Brief Answer:
Severe pain the lower right quadrant of the abdomen!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.
Severe pain in the lower right quadrant, of sudden onset, associate to fever and loss of appetite are characteristic of acute appendicitis. This is a surgical emergency and calls for immediate surgical intervention. Irritated hernia, if in the same area presents with similar symptoms. However, there is often a history of hernia before it becomes irritated.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for further clarifications if need be.

After a heavy workout at the gym yesterday around 5:00, continuous pain started under rib cage (right side) down to the top of my leg. Pain never let up all night
and this morning. I have an abdominal hernia on right side that slips out about once a week. I push it back in and hold for about a minute. Could it have ruptured or could it just be irritated? Is ice good for now?
Thanks so much.

Brief Answer:
I will suggest you get this evaluated by a physician.
Detailed Answer:
HI,
With all this pain and the surrounding circumstances, I will suggest that you get it evaluated. It might require that we carry a surgery to get this rectified. Relieving pain alone at this time might not be sufficient.
Keep me updated about the outcome of your visit.

Thank you for the reply.
Pain went almost away on the third day. I am thinking it was my workout at the gym. I must have pulled something, but I will schedule an appointment with my
doctor anyway.

Brief Answer:
If it is all resolved, no need for further appointment!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If this is all resolved, then it was probably linked to the workout session. There is really no need for further medical attention or evaluation by a physician at this time unless there is something else of concern.
