In Pain-need opinions

ok i woke up this morning and i had a sharp pain on my right side, but i went to work although i had to walk real slow the whole time while commuting bc if i walk even a little fast it hurts alot more...i get to work hoping it would just go away and it doesnt, ppl see im walking like a turtle at work lol everybody thought it was my leg...they sent me home since i was in pain and even called a car to take me home...im home now and im gonna relax and hope i feel better if not im gonna have to go to the doctor...

BUT here is my question for anybody who would know...ok the pain is on my right side so obviously theres a chance it can be my appendix, but im hoping its not, what else can it be?

Wow dont jump to appendix missy. It's not that bad, I hope.

Maybe you pulled a muscle. What were you doing before you started getting these pains?

Did you go to the gym last night? Maybe you pulled something?

Is it like a sharp pain or a dull constant pain?

my coworker had the SAME exact problem yesterday but shes doing fine today. she was worried it was her appendix and thats all we could think of. maybe it'll be gone by tomorrow like hers went away.

Duh sorry your said sharp...

It could be a pulled muscle, stomach virus, gas (not to be gross).

If you are not nasueas (sp) or filling sick to your stomach try taking 2 motrin or tylenol and lay down for a little while.

i honestly thought about the whole gas thing this morning since i have alot of stomach problems but ive had that problem before and it feels different...it might be i pulled a muscle somehow, especially since it hurts more when i move, didnt think about that until i started reading some of your ladies responses, if it was appendix im guessing the pain would be as sharp whether i moved or not.

Thank you so much ladies, you were all very helpful, now to figure out how the h*ll i mightve pulled a muscle(if thats what it is)

Is it in the front or back? I just got back from a pain mgmt appointment i had today.

---

its mostly the front, i get some pain in the back but not that bad and not that constant.

Denise,
I know you dont want to hear it and Im not saying it def is but that sure sounds like your appendix......I would call your doc.....or go to the ER.....but on the plus side not every one with appendicitis has to have surgery .....do you have a fever or loss of appetite?
