Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your solicitousness

As per your clinical history is concerned you have RLQ pain as well as numbness in thigh.so do a physical examination first by a general surgeon in your area and he will attest if it is appendicitis or not.If attested treatment will be surgical in laparoscopic method only. During this time you can take one antibiotics like[Cefixime]and secondly you have thigh numbness and it is due to nerve compression only for which you require to consult with a neurologist in your area and you have to take physiotherapy and if it is not prosperous then you can go for surgical option only.

Hope that helps
