    God Damn, you have to bring up those hellish memories. Have you ever hurt so bad that you had to throw up? Yeah, tell me about it.

    Yep, it's always a smart idea to put a cup on before arguing with your wife/girlfriend.

    Yes. Sharp pain, lower right side. If you don't take care of it, your appendix can burst and you could die.

    Unfortunately, I have been in the hospital twice during Covid, once for three nights. Scary yes, but actually, I left thinking that it's just about the safest place to be; these amazing doctors and nurses and staff know what they are doing and how to stay safe.

    Chris, just to be sure, you did pull your head out, right? ;)

    But, yeah, get it checked out.

    I was taught that when kicked in the balls grunt hard while holding your breath but do not go down no matter how much it hurts. A hard grunt will block some of the pain.

    If you go down, you're gonna regret it. I was taught that in the Army and again in Tai Kwon Do and guess what. It made sense. Do not, do not, do not go down.

    I had appendicitis at age 12. Was fine all day then at night i had immense pain. Threw up that night and morning. Mom took me in and they immediately knew i had appendicitis. Had emergency laproscopic surgery that day. My appendix burst as soon as they took it out. Had to clean some insides because it burst.

    Don't mess around and go get checked now. It could be minor for you but If i would have waited any longer i could have died.

    When I was in my late-40's, I woke up one morning with a bad stomach/abdominal ache. I thought it was something I ate, but the ache got worse and worse, to the point of excruciating pain. My wife had left for the morning, so I said that's it and drove myself to the ER. Well, they admitted me, the doc checked me over and over and then resigned himself to saying all he could think it was was a had stomach flu, or such.

    Then, he say's wait a second and had me lie flat on my back with my feet dangling over the table. Oddly, he then began to smack the bottom of my heels with his fist. At that point he said, "we're admitting you." It was determined that I had a perforated appendix and had surgery right then and there. It was the strangest experience. Glad he caught it. Otherwise, obviously, would have been life-threatening.

    @Chris Craig

    get to the doctor. Dont mess around. Ill never forget being in jr high and my father was driving to my mothers i nSeattle for summer vaca. He had an upset stomach when we left. Half way back home on his trip after dropping me off he had to pull over and call for help.
    Doctors said if he tried to just ride the pain out, it would have killed him. Appendicitis.

    You had appendicitis and he was an apparent masochist. How else could you explain the satisfaction that he got from smashing your body with his fist?

    Yeah, I'm calling my doctor this morning. The pain is still there. Hasn't gotten any better. Hasn't gotten worse though either

    Yes I have. Lay on your back flat. Try to raise your right leg up straight. If you can’t, it’s probably your appendix

    I don't think I could do that, and I don't even have an appendix.
