Do you have a fever? Nausea? Vomiting? If so, wake your parents and go the the ER. IF no fever, nausea or vomiting wait a few hours til they get up and talk to them. Your mom and dad would probably want to know so if you're real worried go wake them up.
Yes it could be, waiting till morning will fine.
Seriously...jump (as in up and down). If it hurts like hell and you want to cry you need to go to the dr NOW.
Wake your parents up because it sounds like you need to go to the ER right away.
I would talk to your parents and see. I waited and mine ruptured.
Wake them & tell them how you feel they wil know what to do. It's better to be safe than sorry. hope you feel better
You probably have a kidney stone... Are you having any issue urinating?? Or do you feel a constant need to do so?
If so it is likely you have a kidney stone, which will be very painful to pass...
HEY FOLKS GET UP..., its better to be safe than sorry it may just be symptoms of grumbling appendicts but rather than wait til they burst get them sorted they will get another nights sleep soon another child is different
Wake your parents immediately. Better safe than sorry. They should either call your family doctor or take you to the ER.
That is how I felt when I had appendicitis and I never vomitted from the pain or felt sick. It just HURT!!!
Whether or not to wait until morning is your choice, but keep in mind, if your appendix explodes you will be in the hospital for weeks whereas if you get it before it explodes, they will do the surgery and you will be home within two days. If I were you though, I would wake up your parents.
Did you feel some pain in your upper abdomen as well earlier? My surgeon told me that sometimes you feel it in your upper abdomen before the pain moves down lower...
Good luck!
If you start to feel nauseous, then it is time to go. If you cannot stand up without doubling over, then this is likely it. Also the jumping idea can help tell. It wouldn't just hurt when you jumped, you would be in agony after. If any of these things occur, wake your parents and see what they say. You will need to go to the hospital if that is what you suspect.
Get to see doc asap, not worth the risk of waiting for a few more hours
Hold on, here is a servey... For each answer correct, give some points.
migratory right iliac fossa pain, 1 point
anorexia, 1 point
nausea and vomiting, 1 point
right iliac fossa tenderness, 2 points
rebound tenderness, 1 point
fever, 1 point
leucocytosis, 2 points
shift to left( segmented neutrophils), 1 point
It's outta 10. The higher the points the more serious.
I would wake them up and go go go.
I had it a couple years ago, at first i thought it was just any old pain, my symtoms was the pain in the lower abodmen, i was very tired, sick. I would curl my self up into a ball, which ruduced the pain. I was 15 at the time too.
I went to hospital and got it removed, just before it was about to burst. You better get it checked out before is bursts. Or its going to be hell SO DONT WAIT, YOU RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY. I was just going to leave it, until the pain wasnt going away and i had to go
how long have you had this pain? Your lower right you have ur ovaries, appendics, and your intestine. Any of those three could be causing you pain. The dull pain means it is coming from a structure inside you. If you have a fever i would go to the ER asap. If not, i would call the Dr as soon as they open.
