My right side hurts? Help?!
Question: My right side hurts? Help?
It's been hurting all day and last night. Last night I was coming back from Atlanta and I was sleeping in the car (leaning my head on the door) but the car door was on my left side (it dosen't hurt) Could it be I pulled a muscle or something when i was sleeping like that? if not, what could it be?
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Do I need to see a doctor right now/today or wait to see if it gets better?
Answers:
Not really sure, no one can accurately answer your question. Do you have a fever? That is the #1 reason I would tell you to go to the ER. Where your pain is, as you described, could be your appendix. It could also be nothing more than muscle soreness (not that that's not bad, but it's not life threatening.) Take your temp. If you do have a fever, I would take it very seriously. Hope everything is ok.
It could be anything.
We aren't trained to diagnose you, examine you, see your medical files, run tests, etc.
You need to use some common sense here. If you feel you need to go to the doctor or ER...then go.
The internet is not a place for medical advice or diagnosis.
Hello,
You probably need to go to the doctor ASAP. It sounds like your Appendix. Your Appendix could be life threatening.
Good luck.
Hope you feel better.
Had my Appendix removed in April 2010
