Appendicitis? or Not?!
Question: Hello I am a 15 year old boy. I had this soreness in my lower left and lower right quadrents. Also, around my groin muscle area. Of course I have been lifting heavy paint buckets and my big green ball (4ft). It is not a sharp pain, and I have had it in both sides for about 5 days. It does not truly hurt. However, for some reason my appetite has decreased a little bit (I personally think it is from worrying). I do not have diahrea. I have not had any urges to use the restroom. When I jump off a chair, or pull my leg up (you know the classic tests), I do not feel any pain. So, I am just wondering if it could be?

There is always a chance it could be, but when I had an appendicitis, I had EXTREME pain. I couldn't even walk, and the symptoms came on pretty suddenly. Also I had a fever and was vomiting. Best bet is to have an ultrasound at the doctor....that can tell you for sure.
