Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am experiencing an throbbing ache in my mid to lower range of my abdomen. It started last night and even after taking ibrophen and tylenol I was able to sleep but still restless and it has not subsided. Could this be appendicitis? On the right side of my body. email address is YYYY@YYYY
Thanks for your consultation at HCM ! I have gone through your case history and it doesn't look like Acute Appendicitis. The pain of acute appendicitis starts initially as a diffuse pain around umbilicus and later it shifts towards the right side ( right illiac fossa ). It is also accompanied by an episode of vomitting and nausea and it is severely tender to touch in right illiac fossa. You better get your Full blood count test done.. To look for raised WBC count...also get urinalysis done too. An expert ultrasound will be helpful in ruling out Acute Appendicitis and other probable causes of your pain. Hope your querry has been addressed properly if u still get any feel free to ask. Regards Dr Saad Sultan
