Not sure if I should goto the doctor yet,
But from last night I have this very vague pain where my appendix is situated, its not painful, just a bit uncomfortable at times depending on how I am seated on the couch.

At first I thought I need to fart, or take a dump but did those a few times already and still have this pain?

Should I go see the doc?
 
How old are you? As soon as you go over 40ish pains start appearing in all kinds of places for seemingly no reason. I ignore them all.

I did have a ruptured appendix at around 35. Was very sore.

The worst are the pinches between your ribs.

similar happened to me.

Wasn't really sore, just felt ''wrong''.

Went to hospital emergency room. They looked but couldn't say for sure. Told me to be back at 6am. They took more xrays, then did a scan.
While i was waiting to go into theatre for them to look if it's that or something else. Started getting a hot/cold fever. Op was done at 9am.
After test came back I was told it woulda popped in 6-18hrs max.
So go now...

Sorry for not updating, I went to the doctor and he said its not my appendix.. i just had a bit of 'gas' inside me..
4 days later and the pain is gone
 
maybe reduce your gassy foods for a while if it happens again.

cabbage, onion, beans, broccolli & a few others.

also gassy drinks.
