Now call me paranoid but...

Mr. Lixy had almost the exact symptons that you've discribed (with, maybe a more severe pain once in a while) and wouldn't go to the doc's. This went on for three solid weeks. I kept asking if the pain was on the right? It was. They say you can figure it to be appendicitis if you have fever, nausea and/or vomiting, and the pain is located at the end of your middle finger when your hand is placed on right hip, fingers in towards the pubic area. He didn't have a fever all the while and no nausea or vomiting either. His pain was on the right, but up higher than one would suspect appendicitis to be. We were stumped. The pain was more severe at times, but once it even went away completely. This is when we think his appendix imploded. Yep, I said IMPLODED...into his colon...and his colon became severely infected it EXPLODED! Then, and only then, he got a fever...of 102.5! It was a dire emergency...on New Year's day no less!! The docs couldn't believe he endured this pain for three weeks. They suspected everything except appendicitis because of the lack of symptons. They did a CAT scan and saw something in the appendix/lower bowel area and figured an exploritory was necessary. They told us that the incision for the exploritory would only be about 3 inches and if necessary, they could get the appendix out through it...or at the most, they would open him to 6 inches. He came back from surgery with an incision from his breast bone, down through his navel, and to his pubic area. The "on call surgeon" was so amazed at what they found when they opened him. He just couldn't believe someone would endure such pain for so long as to let all this happen to him.

All the while, hubby kept insisting it was constipation. I've got to say Belial...I am having deja vu BIGTIME while I am reading your post!

Get yourself to a doctor IMMEDIATELY! If it's nothing...than at least you'll know it's nothing. If it's something...maybe you can catch it before it becomes a bigger something!

Please keep us informed hun...and run, don't walk, to a doctor!
