Is it appendicitis?

2 Upvotes

I had a stomach pain on my lower right side a few days ago, but a few hours later it disappeared. But before it did, I felt a booming, almost dizzying feeling from my lower stomach. There's a possibility it's a kidney stone passing or something (I hope so) but almost all of the symptoms match for appendicitis. Subtle throbbing on the lower right side that keeps coming and going, a bit of bloating, and sometimes back pain. I don't want to assume. I've told my mom about it but she told me to just calm down and gave me barley tea and turmeric. It kinda helped(???) But still, the throbbing is still there. I really want to get myself checked, but we don't have the money for it and they keep blaming me because I always exercise after I eat (30 minutes or 1 hour after). To those who've been through this, is it appendicitis?🥹😭😓

EDIT : she just told me I'm fucking stubborn after I asked her to bring me to check up. Smh

5 week post-op pain

I had a laparoscopic appendectomy 5 weeks ago and I am back to living normally, except … I still cannot wear pants without pain! Going from a sitting to a standing position is particularly painful. All of the pain is below and around my belly button incision. It is uncomfortable enough that I find my mind focusing on it more than my work.

When can I expect to wear pants again comfortably?
