Is this appendicitis?

typically, appendicitis is a condition of people in their 20's. if you are not in that range it does not mean you do not have it, but should be more wary of how you feel if you are. if it is appendicitis you are in stage one, when the pain is diffuse, but when it progresses to stage 2 it will be pinpointed to that lower right quadrant and will be even more intense on the pain scale. you need to verify that you do indeed have a fever with a thermometer. have you been nauseous or have you vomited (yes??? then could likely be appendicitis) going on, if you have appendicitis and it gets to stage 2, you will not want to walk, cough or move because of pain, the fetal position will relieve the pain usually. if this is the case, seek medical attention. please do NOT hesitate. from onset to appendicitis rupture takes about 24 -48 hrs. tops. so good luck
