This just happened to me and I felt like I was going crazy. I’m sorry you went through this. I was so depressed I thought my fatigue and constant icky feeling was from being over worked or just a low immune. They kept telling me I was low in random vitamins or an ear infection or dehydrated. Each time they sent me home. I was told I was sensitive I was told to just exercise more and get a better sleep routine. Even when I had a major attack and couldn’t get out of a ball, the ER sent me home saying it was maybe IBS or it was my normal body being funny and women have this happen a lot. I called back in pain and luckily they looked at my ct scans again and called my bf because I was in so much pain I couldn’t answer my phone. They made a mistake and didn’t notice a stone. So to come in. They semi rushed me to surgery and apologized for missing the “small” stone. They then show me photos after surgery. The thing had leaked and fecal matter was in my body! Let’s just say this same thing happened ten years ago with my gull bladder. Doctors have read lots of books but unless the issue shows up in bright lights, they will most likely misdiagnose people. Doctors are just humans.
This is currently what I have been going through. Two years of undiagnosed chronic pain that nobody could figure out (colonoscopies, endoscopies, misdiagnosis of IBS, etc..) until last week when I drove myself to the ER where they did a CT scan and found out I had a ruptured appendix for way longer than one should have a ruptured appendix. I had to be in the hospital for a week (just got out this morning.) I’m so glad you shared your story with the internet.
Chronic pain is deadly! My mom suffered for years and is no longer here because she just couldn’t take it anymore. I’m glad you got the proper treatment. I went through undiagnosed hashimotos for multiple years before getting proper treatment and know what it’s like to fight for proper healthcare.
That is heartbreaking to hear. I am so sorry for the loss. I can relate to her want for it all to end. I too think about it sometimes. Luckily I'm in a place where I can combat those feelings instantly. It's hard! But you have to do it. Take care mate.
Happy you shared your story, same thing happens to me I was in constant pain on and off for almost a year went to the er 100 times in a year with pain radiating from my lower back to my obliques down to the growing area, due to being chronic appendicitis’s you have to get it while it’s flared up or else it won’t show inflame in any damn test.. I went to the er a day I had like 10/10 pain the did a contrast ct scan of my abdominals and yup my appendix was inflame, remove that sucker forever...it caused me a whole year in debilitating pain tho.
This is EXACTLY and I mean everything you described here, the pain areas of the right lower back radiating to stomach and belly button is what I’ve been dealing with for 8 months. Nausea and cramping now had set in. All bloodwork’s and 2 abdominal CT scans are normal 🤷🏼♀️
I absolutely believe this was me and is me. I am going to have mine removed tomorrow morning. I’m so scared of surgery. But have finally been diagnosed with Chronic Appendix. I’m so glad you are feeling better. Best of luck with everything.
This just happened to my son, one hospital misdiagnosed him and the other caught it and did emergency surgery. He had symptoms for almost a year. His appendix bursted we got my 13 yr old to the hospital right in time because it could of been fatal
Can someone help me prove to my doctors this exists, I am in so much pain in my appendix area and no one will help me apart from give me pain killers but the pain just keeps getting worse. I've been to a&e multiple times, GP tried to get me in for surgery but hospital refused. They're going to discharge me again soon and I can't cope with this pain. 😭 thank you for sharing your story and glad you're ok!
thanks for telling your story. i have been sick for a very long time and trying to get help only to get told it was all in my head. i have been put on more antidepressants than i care to think about. i also have high blood calcium levels and have been pursuing that for the last 5 years. my mental state has not been very good for a long time and i had about as much as i was going to take. two weeks ago i went in to the hospital and they took out my appendix. i am now feeling better than I have in about 20 years.
Over the past month since my operation my pain slowly returned, but not as bad as before. I went to a surgical review follow up for my appendix op an the doctors told me the cause of my pain wasn't from my appendix but it was inflammed due to what was going on inside me. So they booked me in for a colonoscopy, an the doctors think i might have crohn's disease. They said i have abnormalities in my bowel. I find out the results in 1 week from now. My mental state is still suffering, at times it feels like i am going crazy, or i think i have. Its great to hear about your story :) fingers crossed you are pain free from this point on
Mine went on for 3 months. I had awful epigastric pain... I thought I was suffering with gastritis or bad ulcers. My blood and urine always came back normal. And then one night my pain moved lower, so I went to the hospital and they did an abdomen CT and said I had appendicitis. I had surgery, however, they didn't know I had an intestinal malrotation... so they had to do a celiotomy and go looking for my appendix because it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Instead of being in the lower right side it was up near my stomach. But after my appendix was removed Ive had no more pain, no more appetite loss, no more "flare ups". Im 2 1/2 weeks out from my surgery and finally feeling back to normal-ish. For months I was in pain, not eating, not sleeping, having anxiety attacks high blood pressure from the pain and stress etc. And now I'm fine again eating whatever I want ( I had lost about 40 pounds from the whole ordeal because I wasn't eating) and moving around fine. like I was before all my symptoms appeared. I didn't think chronic appendicitis was a thing , and I didn't even think mine was my appendix due to the placement... turns out my insides aren't placed right. And it was my appendix the whole time. You aren't alone and im glad you figured out what was wrong. God bless.
I'm so sorry for what you've been through, that sounds awful 😭 it's so frustrating and disheartening when you are repeatedly dismissed and not taken seriously by doctors, and when you have no answers or diagnosis for your pain!! I'm glad that you are better with your appendix removed though, I'm glad you got some relief! I've been experiencing recurrent bouts of pain, but it is only in my abdomen, usually in the center, but I've also had one episode of sharp, right-sided pain as well. It started a few years ago and it would come back maybe a couple times a year, but now it's like 1-2 times a month, and its a really dull pain that progresses to nausea and vomit and intense pain for several days and then will disappear after. I've had an xray, blood work, urine sample, pregnancy test, ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound, and nothing has really come back except for high white blood cell count. Possible theories by doctors are endometriosis and chronic appendicitis. I'm supposed to be getting more tests done to figure out what it could be, and in the mean time I'm just trying to manage the pain when it flares up but not knowing is so frustrating! It takes so long to find answers and you tell your story to so many different doctors but it's like they're all getting different bits and pieces.
Ive had this for 7 years, its ruined my life😢ive had various tests but they keep saying my appendix is fine, but i know its not. Ive given up now, wait for it to burst, ive learnt to live with it.
Made me want to cry! I know the feeling of being labeled with anxiety when you are truly in constant pain and your pain threshold is so high that they don’t understand. It’s a horrible feeling. I am on the road to healing through long fasts and homeopathy but having no answers is so hard. I have had the same pains as you but moreso in the front down the groin. The PT can feel how tight my illiacus is and how swollen my whole hip is from almost 2 years of pain. I am sending in my CT scans this week to a an online second opinion doctor since I am newly pregnant and pains have worsened along with shortness in of breath and I can no longer do my long fasts. Not eating was the only thing that made it feel better sadly. I hope you are feeling much better! Thanks for sharing! (Ps I also thought my lymph is enlarged because of the chronic infection I am fighting there.)
I feel like this is what I have, for 8 years I have had this pain. I’ve had an abdominal ultrasound (found out I had PCOS) and I also had a colonoscopy. After the colonoscopy they told me I probably just have IBS. Put me on meds, and that just made my stomach cramp really bad. Even had a doctor tell me “it sounds like something that will go away on its own” EIGHT years later and I still have this terrible pain that comes and goes. I just wish someone would give me the facts. I feel like no doctors actually care. And I’m suffering ALL THE TIME. It’s so fucking frustrating and sometime I can’t help but cry and not because the pain but because I can’t figure out how to make it go away
I've had these pains for yrs also, I've even gone 6 weeks more than once w/o finding out what's wrong with me. The er drs. Are plain stupid and they don't care.
I read lot of medical documents based on chronic appendix cases and its harder to be diagnosed ( its rare condition only 7 percent of all appebdix case's).. For this will need CT scan and blood test ( leukocytes , CRT ( c reactive protein) And pray if ct scan detect something wrong with your appendix ( like fecalith ) bcs sometime your hole between appendix and cecum can be smaller and he can easy obstructed ( this can case little to average pain and other symptoms) till it unblocked and later months or years can returns
Heyy Someonee first i had leukotytes 12 and C reactive protein 9 and again aftter one moth i have leukotyes 9( that s means is good) and C protein 15, i have little pain in my right hypocondru, you think is chronic apendites?
@@AnnAnn-qd3xw I don't think I have this anymore still not exactly sure of the cause. But I know hormonal birth control helps a ton. Still have pain during my menstrual cycle but a lot less than without BC (learned my lesson going off of it) wish it would just go away without it meds tbh but idk what else to do. Maybe get tested like what they're saying in the replies!
So glad I came across this video ! I've had Lower right abdomen pain for almost 4 years now . The doctors first said it was hormonal, then they said it was muscular then 2 years ago, they thought it was a female issue so they did exploratory surgery and ended up removing scar tissue I had from previous c sections. But after that the pain returned. I feel like it may be my appendix or colon issue as well. I have the same thing happen , they push on my stomach and it doesn't hurt so they rule it out . But I'm going to keep on until I find out what is the problem. No one should have to live in pain! Pain is our bodies' way of telling us something isn't right. Thank you for sharing , I hope that you are closer to healing from what was causing you pain .
Hi It sounds like you have gone through the same trauma as me. Sadly i still don't have any answers, and am still having issues with whatever is wrong with me. It wasn't my appendix, but they are leaning towards something like crohn's disease or a bowel related problem. Mainly my mental state has suffered the most in the last 6mnths. All the build up of pain an trauma has really effected my internal engine, i have trouble sleeping every night,......i wouldn't wish it on anyone. The Psychiatrist says i have medical anxiety, plus depression. Put that with the chronic pain an i am one mentally messed up dude lol I hope you have found some answers that can lead you in the right direction. Don't give up and push the doctors to find out what is wrong. You are so right, no one should have to suffer and live with chronic pain.
Tamina's World Thank you so much for sharing your story. My wish for you is that they find out exactly what is going on so that you can begin to feel better! Take care !
@@Leah-mk9nr Hi! We finally concluded it to be scar tissue from my c sections. My doctor ended up performing a hysterectomy on me, removing my uterus, cervix and Fallopian tubes. It’s been over a year since the surgery and I am in a lot less pain. I do still get pains during ovulation (my ovaries weren’t taken out ) and if I get dehydrated. But the scarring was bad inside of me. It was connecting my organs together . The hysterectomy definitely helped but I still have pains because the hysterectomy in itself created more scarring. I just take it one day at a time. I made a video about it on my channel where I go more in depth. 💛
You've helped a lot of people by sharing this. I am currently in a similar place. I have a cat scan and collonscopy next week. If they do not determine anything my surgeon said he will do a laronscopy; investigative surgery with a small rod camera. This should all happen in the next 2 week's. So I'll com back then and pass on th knowledge. Symptoms at present - lower right back pain, pain in the lower right abdomen, no appetite, nausea, constipation, weakness in legs, hydrocele, bloating hard tummy and lots of gurgling. Im a 32 year old athlete with a great diet. Had these symptoms 3 years but they became a lot worse last week. I'll keep you posted.
About 6 months ago I got pain on the back of my ribs went to the ER got a catscan blood work etc. everything came back normal about a month ago my upper right abdominal was inflamed and felt like I was getting stabbed on my right side. The feeling felt like I was literally dying had a fever like symptoms as well . The pain settled but never went away I deal with dull pain everyday that goes from my upper right rib to my side to my back right side. I feel nauseous everyday and it’s hard to digest or use the bathroom. I got a ultrasound about a week ago and my doctor said everything came back normal. It is mentally exhausting everyday living with this dull pain that comes and goes. My mental state has dropped to an all time low.
This sounds like what I'm going through right now. I went to the emergency room a week ago and got a CT with contrast done and they said there was nothing there, but the pain's been so bad that I can't sleep.
Same!! It’s so miserable!! Bloating, constant pain in my lower abdomen, and lower side. My surgeon said I had subacute appendicitis. “Chronic appendicitis”. They can’t see my appendix on the CT. It’s tucked under something. It hurts to walk and sleep, and sit. Comes and goes but mostly chronic now. Feels like the worst stomach ache. I have a mild pain on the rebound push test. My surgeon will be taking it out. I hope you feel better and find out what’s wrong! Just wanted to share my story to see if you have the same symptoms.
@@xXPlasmaFireXx hi! Yes, I had my appendix out and I have improved greatly!!! The pain used to make me feel like I even had horrible UTIs. Ever since I’ve had surgery, I have not had any of these issues. The pain is finally gone! My surgeon said my appendix had scar tissue built up inside and that meant at one point it had been blocked off and that’s why the pain. I’m so glad it’s gone! Chronic appendicitis IS a real chronic health issue. You just have to find a Dr who knows about it.
I have a 14 year old son going through this right now. It is so affecting his life and numerous tests have revealed nothing. Every time I bring up Chronic Appendicitis, I get shut down. No pain killers he has been given to date have worked except morphine at the ED once. We too have been told its muscular, now its ETAP, athlete stitch while he is swimming. I keep asking about the pains he gets when not swimming. His are daily but intermittent. Going on 3 years now and getting really worse since end of January this year. He has been suggested from the hospital to see a psychologist to manage the pain. Specialists, drs, and still no answer. Off to a private surgeon Tuesday. But I don't like our chances as the gastroenterologist referred us and stated his ideas in referral letter. We will keep fighting until someone believes us there is Chronic appendicitis
They should have figured this out long ago lower rt side is almost always appendix.I just had mine taken out two days ago .I still have some pain but not near as bad.The doctor said it would go away in a few days.I had my gallbladder taken out 3 years ago and gall stones .I had chronic pain with that for months.Very suve re stumich pain.I know exactly how he was feeling.Its something I would never want anyone to go through.
I feel for you. I am going through something similar with lower abdominal cramps and slight pain when pressing on my right side. However no pain kidney side.
This story sounds so frustrating mate, i've been dealing with simliar issues 6 weeks now and fed up, hoping to get a diagnosis soon and i hate when they think its in your head or some crap like that
Thanks for telling you're story. One week ago my apendix was taken out. It was full of pus. My story started 8 YEARS ago. It was for sure chronic apendicitis. So much pain....adicitid to morfine...all becouse the docters did not take me seriousley...
same as you man .. my GP don't thinking its appendix but I know from where pain is and its exact from it .. its 8 years and it appear every 2/3 years ( it depends )
@@rqjgaming It did hurt most of the time. But it was a nagging pain. Now and than, mostley when I was lifting something, there was extreme pain. Almost could not breath. Only a shot of morfine could cure that pain. My surgeon said, my appendix was traped behind my abdominal muscle. That was caused the extreme pain. Now he is out I can lift stuff. I can do a work out. That pain is gone. Only my abdominal nerves hurt sometimes. That is the consequence of my apendix that was inflamed for almost 8 YEARS. My blood did not show an increase of white blood cells so that is why the did not look any further ...
I had my appendix removed 3 weeks ago. Two to three month before it was inflamed but the tests were only moderate painful but the sono showed heavy inflammation. I took antibiotics for a week and it resolved. One month later it flared up but not severe and resolved with natural antibiotics and very slow eating but a few weeks later again pain. This time different with burning. Sono showed moderate inflammation but pain was getting worse so they took it out. I think this was the best option. Not only the pain was gone but a lot of things improved I did not think of. Problems I had for many years. I tolerate foods now that made me fell bad for years. So I think the appendix was irritated for a very long timend I did not notice. Pain after eating to much, also on the left side or around the navel area. Back pain, „kidney problems“… I feel better psychological. Less to no anxiety, dark thoughts. Inflammation can trigger some kind of existential angst. I read about zytokines and inflammatory markers. These can depress your mood. Inflammation is not only physical but through blood brain barrier it can affect your brain. Felling exhausted etc. My tounge always had a white coating which is gone now. And also some minor other improvements. I think about how many people have issues with their appendix and not know about it. Or other inflammation (stomach, teeth, gut etc.) that puts their lives into misery. Thank you for your video.
Wow I’ve been through so much of the same, including the neck mri. In and out of ER, many do or appointments. I had episodes that would start with a little twinge and it would quickly escalate to severe back and chest pain, it would go up my neck into my ear. I would have to breath through it until the throwing up would begin. It could last up to 3-6 hours. I would try and change my diet, I would try everything and nothing helped. My neck and back muscles were getting worse and worse, I was sleeping in an acupuncture pad every night. I felt like I was slowly dying. I felt like my body was sick and attacking itself but because nobody could see it and nothing was showing up clearly in tests, everyone thought I was a hypochondriac I’m sure. The smallest tasks seemed impossible. This lasted about a year. Finally one day my stomach just started aching after I did some raking. The pain got worse and wrapped all around my stomach and back. I through up all night and had no energy. Finally the next day if rove myself to the hospital. After ct scan they said I had appendicitis and needed to do surgery. After surgery I had a horrible reaction where the gas they pump into you during surgery went up into my chest which mimicked a heart attack. After running tests and having cardiac enzyme bloods drawn for 24 hours, another ct scan to rule an aortic aneurysm. I started to pass the gas slowly which relieved the feeling that I was having a heart attack. I’m 4 days post my appendectomy and all the neck and back pain that I have been suffering with constantly has disappeared! It’s amazing what your body does to try and show you that something is wrong. It’s almost like I was being slowly poisoned but if it’s not flared up at time of ct scan they just miss it. My heart goes out to everyone who has gone through this .🙏
WOW! IF ANYONE CAN RELATE IT IS ME!!! I am 22 years old. Had a c section in March. Blood clots and a collapsed lung in April. Since May I have had shortness of breath, pain when breathing, burning right side pain. Many many test such as, abdominal & chest CT scan, x rays, ultrasounds, blood work, urine, hida scan, pulmonary function test. Some kind of dye for your lungs and I layed under xrays, I've had a colonoscopy, I've had an upperscope, I've had my gallbladder out, and I still can't breathe, it still hurts and I still have this burning right side pain. The only things they have found is chronic gastritis, a blood clotting disorder, and lung nodules. I am at a loss. My sister has been diagnosed with MDS cancer that is uncurable. Everything is just horrible and nobody can find out what is wrong!! Ahh. I'm really trying to hang in there. I truly understand what it's like to not know or have a diagnosis. They just want to tell you its anxiety. You know it's not. Never give up trying for answers!! I am being referred to a teaching hospital so I hope I get some answers!!!
Thank you for your video its sounding a lot like what I myself am going through myself. I have a non obstructing kidney stone and was told it shouldn't be causing my issues. I have an "elongated appendix" My symptoms are right abdominal pain like a bad bruise in that entire side that wraps around my back and goes towards the groin, pain around and mostly on right side belly button. I been through hell with getting doctors to listen like yourself and yeah it makes you feel like you're going fucking crazy. Prayers for you my dude.
@@scottjohnson9619where was the kidney stone located? I am feeling the same pain you’re describing.. from lower right back to oblique to right lower belly button. It’s been over 2 weeks.
I thought I had chronic appendicitis too and your symptoms and story sound so similar to mine, but I think I finally have an answer to mine: blood clots! I ended up having a Pulmonary embolism during pregnancy and upon blood thinner treatment, eventually had some DVT type of leg pain(likely from the clots clearing) even though I hadn’t had DVT symptoms prior to that except for hip and right sided pain radiating up and down my right side. You can have blood clots anywhere in your body and it can happen in healthy people, especially who weight lift but because they are so healthy they don’t present with the tachycardia and other symptoms as noticeably. Also it seems like the veins and arteries hurt more after the clot passes than when they are stuck. I have felt random pains all over as thought he clots are moving through being on blood thinners.l and then eventually relief. Maybe if it flares up again have them check your d-dimer levels during the worse of it. Hope you get better soon!
Omg I've been suffering from this condition for almost 3yrs. I can't handle the pain anymore. But with me the pain is always a dull throbing pain everyday I'm on all kinds of medications. My life has suffered greatly, but I can't find a surgeon to remove the appendix.
im also sufferring from chronic appendicitis it took 21 years of pain it all started when iwas 16 years old and now im 38 damn it it dstroys more than half of my life .after my operation in august 2019 my stomache not hurt anymore.the pain started 1999-2019
@@mrs_park8803 yeah it hurts when i press my near belly button. and always bloated and feels heavy im always sleeping with pillows under my hip cause it relieved the pain.
@@mrs_park8803 mine when i press it when it is first started theres a little pain thats why i ignore it. but dont ignore it sometimes theres no pain when you press it its like come and goes the pain
I have been going through this for the last 15 years. All sorts of test and scans and nothing showing up. Now my gp has mentioned appendicitis and I am convinced I have chronic appendicitis. Like you the hospital said it wasn't my appendix due to bloods being clear. I was refused a ct scan and now am pushing for this to ne done. I got so down and depressed also, I would be crying with the pain 😔 😢 😭
I was just diagnosed with chronic appendicitis. Random pains in my abdomen but no fever and the pain was like 5/10 for the past year or so for 3-5 days. Have to get it removed before it becomes acute at some point and I'm far away from a hospital.
@@fae137 it was the lower right part of the abdomen if you're looking down at your stomach. My doctor did a test and pushed in and quickly released and it hurt like crazy to verify. Got it removed and took about a week to recover.
@@crimsonbear22 are you still in pain after having it removed? Or are you better? I am currently going through this and I’ve had 3 CT scans and they keep saying nothing is wrong with me. I have suffered with this for 4 months so far. Just this last week it’s gotten so so bad.
@@roxieavalonart definitely better it was totally worth it. I still have oddd phantom pains but that's going to happen. You know side note: you may want to look into psoas pain as it runs through the same area. But otherwise your body could be fighting off the appendicitis and doesn't show up on the scan then returns? Sorry to hear!
I had this. 5 years of chronic on again off again dull sometimes sharp pain in my right lower quadrant. It turned acute this past week. Had my appendix out yesterday. I think this is a real problem that isn’t well understood by medical professionals. They seem to think appendicitis just happens, but I think it’s clear that it can progress over time at least in some cases like mine. Stuff I read is that they seem to think this only happens in 1-2% of cases. I’m not so sure about that. It might be a bigger issue.
Wow this is what I feel like. I’ve had pain for about nine months now. I had a CT scan back in October, that showed no appendicitis but some small lymph nodes in the ileocecal area. They told me I probably had a GI infection, and it should go away. Well it didn’t, I still get pain on and off. It’s usually present more often than not. If I bend down to pick something up I’ll get a pressure feeling in my abdomen, if I sit I’ll get pain. If I lay too flat on my back I’ll get pain, if I sneeze a bunch I’ll get a throbbing pain for a few minutes. It really sucks. I have a GI appointment coming up they want to do a colonoscopy. I just wish I could go see a surgeon.
Dude I had a year of visiting the doc, loads of tests, bloods indicating some higher than normal levels and that I was fighting an infection, same symptoms every time, pain, sickness, irregular bowel activity, and feeling fatigued, antibiotics prescribed after which 1 week of feeling ok then cycle would start again. Final chat with doc, left me gobsmacked, Doc suggested I had a fatty liver and just left it at that, at which point I had had enough. I was in constant pain and my head was not working properly at all, and my fatigue just got worse, not able to be as active as normal and weight increased over period of time too! Long story short, 3 months later burst appendix, gangrene and sepsis, 7 days in hospital, 10 days later 30 staples removed and wound opened up loads of fluid pouring out, returned to hospital to be informed that the wound would have to heal from the inside out. 19 months on still having complications and situation is still not entirely concluded. My scar is huge, I’ve had loads of internal pain and my belly button is about 50mm to the left of where it used to be! My right hand side and to the left of the scar protrudes out at least 100mm more than the same area on the left side of my abdomen, this area of my body has been nicknamed as the AEC, (alien eruption centre) by family and friends, my consultant believes it to be a “Complex Hernia” ?? The saga continues..........
This is almost the exact same thing happening to me. I have been in extreme pain for almost 2 years now and I have had more tests than anyone my age should. I am a dancer and it gets extremely painful with movement. I have been to the ER countless times I have had colonoscopies, endoscopes, blood work, Ct scans, x-rays and ultrasounds. Absolutely no answers! It hurts really bad and no one knows what's wrong. I have already had my gallbladder removed at 14 years old. I keep insisting it is my appendix but no one believes me. Thank you for sharing your story. It is very refreshing to know someone else has had the same problem!
Our 11 year old is sitting in the hospital right now and it's such a hard decision to know wether or not to give him the surgery. There are a number of studies showing that a lot of people who forgo surgery and just take the antibiotics are fine. But the risk of a ruptured appendix is really risky as well.
In the future if you ever have a doctor that refuses to do a test or prescribe a medication or anything else you think you need an attorney said say to the doctor: "I want you to write for me the medical criteria why you're refusing to do... such and such test... make such and such referral to whatever specialist... prescribe such and such medication or treatment and add a copy as a permanent part of my medical record." I actually did this once for my 8 yr old daughter who had Lyme's disease but the doctor wanted to do a bone marrow test instead It came back red hot Lymes. Naturally the doctor tried to shrug it off and act like it was her idea to do the limes test and never mention the extremely painful bone marrow biopsy she wanted to do again. I used it for myself when I had Lymes disease during pregnancy with my 4th child and the emergency room didn't want to test for Lymes because neither my other daughter nor I got a bullseye rash even though I was unable to stand or walk any longer. My little dog had gotten Lymes right after me without a bullseye rash and a mere veterinarian did the test right away and saved his life. Needless to say my test came back red hot. I used it about 10 years after that when I had something wrong with my heart that wasn't showing up on the EKG in the doctor's office many times she insisted I see a psychiatrist. So finally I used it to get an ultrasound where they said I "only had a skip in my heart" which after following up with an actual cardiologist using a "sonogram with bubble" turned out to be left mitral valve regurgitation. Now I'm watching your video because I have pain I believe is my appendix. My daughter had her appendix out because she had chronic appendicitis and her appendix was as the doctor called it "cranky" and slightly inflamed. His opinion was it was better to just take it out than have her come back in a week or a month. I mentioned her having appendicitis because it can come on from viruses and I've heard many experiences of people getting appendicitis and their family members getting it before or after them too. I know I'm not going to be believed for some of the same reasons you were not believed. But I am very grateful to that attorney for arming people with the right terminology to defend ourselves against doctors who ignore their patients. I hope you never have to use that dialogue, but if you do I hope it helps. I listen to your whole story and am very sorry that you had to go through that. Sadly I know that feeling personally. Psychiatric medications can cause many physical problems some of them can't be fixed even when the medication is stopped. Thank you for your video. I wish you well!!
I’ve suffered with this on and off for nearly 20 years been admitted and discharged 15 times over the 20 years and now it back again Been like it for 3 days and I really don’t know wether to go to the hospital or not 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Thank you so much for putting this online! Maybe I have it, too. Next week I will get an appendectomy after 2 years of pain. I keep you updated, if that was really the problem! :) Have a nice day!
yes please let me know how it goes. When i tell people about what i went through they can't believe that something like this can go undetected for soooo long. There must be more people out there suffering the same way i did and still have no answers
I will keep you updated. Have you got your lab results already and is your pain getting better? I truly have exact the same story, just that they always sent me to the gynecologist and I had one Laparoscopy already, because of a "female" issue and they did`t look at my appendix. After that and my pain was not getting any better - it was "all in my head". Chronic pain is really the worst. So I can feel you - I really hope, that that journey is now going to an end with getting out my appendix :) And I hope you feel better and can start your life again.
Yes i got the lab results back, and the thing that was found is that i had lymphnode hyerplasia of the appendix. Yes the pain i was having has gone away but now i hav the recovery pain and it is playing on my mind,.....i have been traumatized by what i have been through and it has effected me mentally. I hope in time the mental scares heal. Lymphoid hyperplasia is an increase in the number of normal cells (called lymphocytes) that are contained in lymph nodes. This most often happens when there is an infection with bacteria, viruses, or other types of germs and is part of the body's reaction to the infection. So it seems that for over 2 years i have been fighting some infection, virus, or bacteria inside me. I actually need to make a follow up video to update what has happened since operation and how i am feeling now. I hope they find out what is causing your chronic pain......yes it is the worst, no one should have to live like this
Hey there - I had my surgery in the morning and yes, I had it, too! Chronic appendicitis (From what the surgeon could see). They also found a not so big ovarian cyst on the right, so I stay hopeful, that the pain was caused by the inflamed appendix and the cyst will naturally resolve :) How are you felling now? I will keep you updated after recovery and when I have the lab results, if my pain is gone with my appendix :) I totally can feel you, so many doctors tell you, that it`s all in your head or that sometimes no actually problem can be found and one has to learn to live with that pain. But it`s really a strange idea to tell a young person to "simply" live with chronic pain. I totally can feel you how devastating it is. My story is like yours, you are not alone and I really got depressed about that and sometimes even thought, that I can`t live with that pain and from a rational viewpoint suicide would be the better option. :D BUT all in all I learned a lot - to hear what my body is trying to tell. Got me to healthy routines, and how to "survive" in the medical system etc. I really hope that this time of constant pain is over for you and for me _ good luck and have a nice recovery!
That is incredible!!! Why is this type of thing flying under the radar? Why do Doctors not pick it up? I am so happy for you. I hope the only pain u feel now is the recovery pain. After about 4 weeks i started to doubt whether or not i was "FIXED",.......its the mental scars that i am having trouble dealing with. I 100% know exactly were you are coming from,......i don't like to admit it, i like to say i was in a dark place,......but i couldn't continue to live a life feeling the way i was. Words can't describe the trauma i went through, the weight, the pain i carried around pretending i was coping ok when really i was struggling. I need to do a update video in the next few days, keep an eye out for it, an i hope you are feeling like the old you again :)
@@PKPK-br4gn so I kept going to the doctors complaining about the pain and they diagnosed me with several different things to begin with I even had medication for a suspected infection. In the end I was in the doctors about 10 times the last time the doctor done a pressure test on my stomach and the pain was unbearable! He then looked concerned and referred me to hospital for a scan. The scan confirmed it. They have told me it's not acccite appendicitis and there fore will not operate until necessary. Saying that I've been diagnosed for over a year and 90% of time I don't have an issue with it. I have changed my lifestyle since. Eating healthier and lost 70 pounds in weight. I was told the pain was caused by a small blockage in my appendix. This is normal and can be caused by fecal matter. I'm rare cases however it can be caused by a tumor. If your experiencing the same symptoms get it checked just in case.
This happend to me! 4 yrs and I would get bouts of chronic diarrhoea and I couldn't bend over and do my shoe laces and it felt like my back was breaking sometimes.
This is exactly what's happening to me. I have had two CT scans and they said Nothing was wrong. So now I drink liquor to ease the pain. I don't know what else to do.
I think this is happening to me. I’ve had this recurrent pain for years. I just went last week finally because I couldn’t move. They did a ct and ultrasound and couldn’t image my appendix but all my labs were fine so they sent me home. I have tenderness, but I’m like not really a screamer, so I guess a grimace isn’t enough of a pain response and it is nbd cuz women just deserve to be in pain I guess.
I have the same problem,It affects my eating & digestion.Last yr. I finally went to the hospital 2 different ones,and because I was not rolling around in pain they felt it was not my appen. but they did a lot of test and said I had stones in my appendix but did nothing at this time I had gone over 30 days without eating I would through it up I had one Dr. tell me well if you had not keep anything down for 30 days you would be in worse shape than you are in now.I do throw up bright yellow bile and black coffee like blood.I had the same problem with my gallbladder I finally got a Dr. who took a chance even though my test all showed nothing wrong.I have a lot of issues any way from a 4-wheeler accident.I have been going through this since 2015 when I went through cancer treatment at that time I felt the throwing up was from the chemo.I have the pain constant but I take pain meds for other stuff.So no I will not be rolling in pain.I guess I will have to wait till it burst before they do anything.The last hospital I went to they keep me 3 days and let me go while I was still not eating but they are the ones who told me I had stones.I was baffled.
I had chronic appendicitis for most likely 5+ years. Reoccurring painful bloating was my biggest symptom. I had other things going on as well, but when it escalated and I was sick for 3 months straight, they finally went in and sure enough, the appendix was completely shriveled up and lab confirmed appendicitis. 2 ct scans missed it. It was hell
@Idania Navarrete do you mean did it come and go? Yes. It would always flare in the evening. And generally fade some if I layed on my gut and just fell asleep. But it became more and more frequent as the years went on. But I also have ongoing other issues, so it's hard to solely pinpoint anything except the chronic bloating. That was most def my appendix because I have had it maybe twice somewhat in the 3 years since removal, whereas before it was twice or more a week. They told me it was IBS.. ha. Anyways. . I had constant ache in that area only in the last month or so before surgery. BUT that ache came back a lot after, HOWEVER, I had intense muscle massage work on that area after a second surgery for endometriosis and it finally has been gone for over a year. I thought maybe it was ovary related, but it wasn't going away after surgery and ovaries where fine, but the massage helped relieve it a ton. I think that ache was muscular. But was it brought on by chronic inflammation in that area? I don't know. But the tight painful bubbling bloat that would cover almost my whole stomach and feel like it would explode, the chronic gas, and even strong anal itching, all went away. Now I only get bloat when overdo gluten, but that's not even everytime. And gas is also only when I eat poorly, but it's nothing at all compared to my life before surgery. I wish I could say it solved all my other GI pain, but that has just gotten worse with gall bladder removal.. But that's another story.
@Idania Navarrete oh and being sick for months beforehand also came from my enlarged gall bladder that 2 CT scans, an ultra sound, and the hida scan all missed.
I’ve been having the same problems for nearly 9 years now currently trying to convince my now doctor that that’s what it is. Wounding if you’ve got any advice for me just I believe getting them out would be life changing for me like the day it started when I was 18 I’m 27 now. Would really appreciate it if you see this & reply thank you for your time Mick
Sometimes doctors after test and test and test cant find anything that is causing the pain you have the right to ask for the removal of the appendix as it has 0 use in our body we know our bodies better than anyone.
Damn this is crazy i literally have suffering ln pain in my lower right abdomen since like 2014 and ive done every test and they keep telling i yr s fine yet im in pain 24hrs 7 days a week. Its almost like doctors refuse to believe this condition exists its crazy i just wish a doctor would take mine out just to see because if nothing is wrong fine whats the harm but i f its the cause then i can finally be out of pain
if u have pain in your right lower abdomen 24 7 for thee past 5 years i would get a ct scan and a colonoscpoy your appendix could be inflammed and ready to burts or you might have a bowel condition like colotis orr chrons
hi I had lower right pain in my stomach. The pain moved towards my belly button. My belly button became inflamed and then next day the pain went away. After that I only have like a small pain and my lower right of my stomach seems like it's inflated.
I had chronic appendicitis. It took me 4 months to figure it out and had to demand doctors to listen to me. They tried to say my pain was caused from mental trauma. I’ve been through a lot. Chronic appendicitis is real!
I had this pain on and off for years with a low grade fever. It just all the sudden got bad in August. I had an exploratory surgery and they found a patch of endometriosis. Two months later I could no longer stand the pain. I was in the hospital again and got accused of wanting pain meds, they thought I was insane and tried to force me into a psych ward. Got a HIDA scan done that showed I had cholecystitis. Went to a different hospital to get that taken out. Two weeks later I was back in the hospital and I was still ignored. I demanded to see a new surgeon. He finally agreed to take my appendix out alongside the gynecologist who took out the endometriosis to be sure all bases were covered. I am now two weeks post op and got the pathology report and what do you know! I had appendicitis! They said it must’ve been years due to the way it looked. I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time as well. But you’re not alone!
Shoot man. I'm having the same thing. My bottom right abdomen near my ribs is not feeling comfortable for he past 6 years. Right now currently the pain is getting stronger. It feels like the whole ribs are inflamed. A pressure on the right side. I've been going to the doctors for 6 years now, got a X-ray, ultra sound, they did the push test and everything. Thank you for your story. Now I know for sure it's my appendix that is fooling around with me. Tamnia, to fall asleep, were you sleeping on your side? (Putting pressure on the right side of your body) ? Did this pain make you not want to eat?
My pain would always seem to last for about 3months of intense/extreme pain, and would fade away on its own, but would never really go away if that makes sense. It was a very strange/hard feeling to describe. At times it felt like a stabbing feeling in my lower right back and on my right side, then it would feel like someone had stapled a piece of cardboard inside me with a rock in side it, it felt like a deep dull constant pain. It was always there, always on my mind, every moment of the day. I just became tolerant to the pain because i didn't get help or answers from doctors so i had to tolerate the pain or i would go mental. By the end it did send me crazy, i am still emotionally scared due it. My appendix was tucked behind my bowel, so maybe this was why the push test never affected me, but i was in extreme pain all the time so the push test wouldn't of made any difference. You should push your doctors to look into Chronic Appendicitis if all other tests have come back clear. I got tested for a rare form of tumor/cancer because all my other tests were coming back clear.....................it was just the fact that i had visited emergency 6 times in less than 2 months that they started to think it MIGHT be my appendix, and that i wasn't just suffering anxiety or just a hypochondriac. Hope you find out something soon and get some help
To be honest i spent such a long time suffering chronic long term pain my mind is still damaged from the months/years of pain. Physically i am starting to feel ok, but mentally i am not in a good place just yet. I now suffer anxiety and am still worried about the future, how i am going to return to work, how i am going to get my fitness back...........so now it seems i have more mental damage due to the chronic pain over time. I will keep you posted in the next few weeks when my surgery wounds heal and i start moving around more freely :)
Scrolling the internet and searching and searching and I came across this... I feel like that I thought bad back always my lower right ride and to my belly button. It's getting to be too much :( I have anxiety even now I'm having a hard time breathing. Doctors just give me antibiotics
Hi, I'm so sorry that you had to suffer for so long, I'm only 21 years old and I've been suffering from severe abdominal pain in the exact same region for 3 years and doctors have no idea of what the problem might be :( . Did you ever find out what was the cause of the inflammation in your colon?
Ray Jones yep he is currently on steroids for 3mths and it took 4years to find what was wrong now he is on alot of treatment because he has had it so long untreated and it was really bad.
Does anybody know anything cause I have constant nausea, chronic constipation, stomach pain, and a constant stitch in my side that keeps switching sides. I have been treated for constipation and acid reflux and NOTHING has worked. I feel horrible and can't do anything. Please HELP ME!!
@@ibshelpbangladesh1111 hiiii i will probably delete this comment now as i no longer suffer from the symptoms mentioned in this comment. if you wanted to know, my symptoms were linked to anxiety x
I’m so sorry you went through this. I think I may be experiencing something similar. I’ve had chronic pain on my right side under my ribs and near my belly button for like 3 years now...I’ve had several tests (colonoscopy, CT Scan, exploratory surgery, gallbladder test, etc) and they still can’t find anything wrong. It makes me feel so miserable and hopeless. I’ve lost so much weight and am very weak. I found a surgeon willing to remove my appendix but I’m afraid to do something so drastic...😢
Brianna Lee hey! Don’t give up. I was in and out of the hospital the past 4 months. A HIDA scan showed I had cholecystitis. I had that taken out. The pain persisted. They didn’t believe my appendix was bad. I found a surgeon to take my appendix out. I just got the pathology report and I had appendicitis this whole time!
I need some advice or info. Since October of 2018 til now I have had dull to sharp pain in lower right region of abdomen. The pain comes and goes and usually only lasts a few minutes. I have taken amoxicillin, clindamycin, and penicillin vk on 3 occasions for a wisdom tooth infection. I have not had a low grade fever or a high fever, no vomiting, no nausea, and I can move around and even jump with no pain. This pain comes different times and some days never. I have had constipation in the past but now I have regular bowel movements. Anyone have advice as I have no health insurance and no money for out of pocket costs. Of course if it comes to a life or death emergency i will go but anyone shed light on this please.???
how are things now? hope you feel better. For me its been 5 weeks now that my lower right side started feeling weird after i felt a sharp pain which lasted about 30mins, so i went to the hospital and all test came back clear. Now i feel small pain in areas under my rib cage, from my navel round to my back sometimes and when it doesn't hurt,it feels like a balloon or some mass inside me. I don't know what to do :( is this what i have?
hi 😊 he is going for a colonoscopy on monday hopefully this one with show up more and give us a answer. Darren is still in pain going on 3years now or more with pain its really taking a toll on him. i cant imagine how it must feel for you but watching Darren in pain kills me to watch as i can do nothing to help. i really hope u find out whats up with you x
thats heart breaking to hear, i pray he'll come through. i just got back from the hospital where i was admitted for a night, my abdomen started feeling weird (like electricity, idk) then i felt dizzy and fell over. they did test again and most came back clear except the ultrasound where they noticed something but now i need 2 go for a ct. idk if it was a panic attack but i feel alright now, still hav heavy vision and to think it happened after reading your reply :(
Is there any other homeopathic cures or hers to treat chronic appendicitis without surgery? I don't have insurance or money for an exam or surgery. Need help as I think I may have chronic appendicitis. Please?
No there is not, however treatment with antibiotics has shown promise as an alternative to an appendectomy, but bear in mind this treatment is not applicable to all cases of appendicitis, chronic or acute, and very likely is not accepted at this point in time as a first-line treatment for appendicitis.
Guys i have a mild pain when i only pressing my lower right abdomen, i take antiboitics for a week but i feel its coming back again it is appendicitis?
I would love answer from you 😀 I have that pain about 7 months 🤨 Noone doesnt know what is it , i said it chronic appendix , they just mentoied it could be , but probbably not . They said to ke that i m Hypocondric . I m scary from appendix surgery , can it be healed on some different way . I m 13 🙏
This just happened to me and I felt like I was going crazy. I’m sorry you went through this. I was so depressed I thought my fatigue and constant icky feeling was from being over worked or just a low immune.
They kept telling me I was low in random vitamins or an ear infection or dehydrated.
Each time they sent me home.
I was told I was sensitive
I was told to just exercise more and get a better sleep routine.
Even when I had a major attack and couldn’t get out of a ball, the ER sent me home saying it was maybe IBS or it was my normal body being funny and women have this happen a lot.
I called back in pain and luckily they looked at my ct scans again and called my bf because I was in so much pain I couldn’t answer my phone.
They made a mistake and didn’t notice a stone. So to come in.
They semi rushed me to surgery and apologized for missing the “small” stone.
They then show me photos after surgery. The thing had leaked and fecal matter was in my body!
Let’s just say this same thing happened ten years ago with my gull bladder.
Doctors have read lots of books but unless the issue shows up in bright lights, they will most likely misdiagnose people. Doctors are just humans.
This is currently what I have been going through. Two years of undiagnosed chronic pain that nobody could figure out (colonoscopies, endoscopies, misdiagnosis of IBS, etc..) until last week when I drove myself to the ER where they did a CT scan and found out I had a ruptured appendix for way longer than one should have a ruptured appendix. I had to be in the hospital for a week (just got out this morning.) I’m so glad you shared your story with the internet.
What were your symptoms?
Yea would like to know what her symtoms were.
Sounds like you may have a lawsuit claim.
now u allright?
Hey u alright???
Chronic pain is deadly! My mom suffered for years and is no longer here because she just couldn’t take it anymore. I’m glad you got the proper treatment. I went through undiagnosed hashimotos for multiple years before getting proper treatment and know what it’s like to fight for proper healthcare.
That is heartbreaking to hear. I am so sorry for the loss. I can relate to her want for it all to end. I too think about it sometimes. Luckily I'm in a place where I can combat those feelings instantly. It's hard! But you have to do it. Take care mate.
Happy you shared your story, same thing happens to me I was in constant pain on and off for almost a year went to the er 100 times in a year with pain radiating from my lower back to my obliques down to the growing area, due to being chronic appendicitis’s you have to get it while it’s flared up or else it won’t show inflame in any damn test.. I went to the er a day I had like 10/10 pain the did a contrast ct scan of my abdominals and yup my appendix was inflame, remove that sucker forever...it caused me a whole year in debilitating pain tho.
This is EXACTLY and I mean everything you described here, the pain areas of the right lower back radiating to stomach and belly button is what I’ve been dealing with for 8 months.
Nausea and cramping now had set in. All bloodwork’s and 2 abdominal CT scans are normal 🤷🏼♀️
I absolutely believe this was me and is me. I am going to have mine removed tomorrow morning. I’m so scared of surgery. But have finally been diagnosed with Chronic Appendix. I’m so glad you are feeling better. Best of luck with everything.
This just happened to my son, one hospital misdiagnosed him and the other caught it and did emergency surgery. He had symptoms for almost a year. His appendix bursted we got my 13 yr old to the hospital right in time because it could of been fatal
Can someone help me prove to my doctors this exists, I am in so much pain in my appendix area and no one will help me apart from give me pain killers but the pain just keeps getting worse. I've been to a&e multiple times, GP tried to get me in for surgery but hospital refused. They're going to discharge me again soon and I can't cope with this pain. 😭 thank you for sharing your story and glad you're ok!
thanks for telling your story. i have been sick for a very long time and trying to get help only to get told it was all in my head. i have been put on more antidepressants than i care to think about. i also have high blood calcium levels and have been pursuing that for the last 5 years. my mental state has not been very good for a long time and i had about as much as i was going to take.
two weeks ago i went in to the hospital and they took out my appendix. i am now feeling better than I have in about 20 years.
Over the past month since my operation my pain slowly returned, but not as bad as before. I went to a surgical review follow up for my appendix op an the doctors told me the cause of my pain wasn't from my appendix but it was inflammed due to what was going on inside me. So they booked me in for a colonoscopy, an the doctors think i might have crohn's disease. They said i have abnormalities in my bowel. I find out the results in 1 week from now. My mental state is still suffering, at times it feels like i am going crazy, or i think i have. Its great to hear about your story :) fingers crossed you are pain free from this point on
Waw you telling my story hope you doing great now.
@@TaminasWorld so if you didnt get the appendix out would it have ruptured?
Same as me, Dr's say its in my head
Whats your symptoms and location of pain
Mine went on for 3 months. I had awful epigastric pain... I thought I was suffering with gastritis or bad ulcers. My blood and urine always came back normal. And then one night my pain moved lower, so I went to the hospital and they did an abdomen CT and said I had appendicitis. I had surgery, however, they didn't know I had an intestinal malrotation... so they had to do a celiotomy and go looking for my appendix because it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Instead of being in the lower right side it was up near my stomach. But after my appendix was removed Ive had no more pain, no more appetite loss, no more "flare ups". Im 2 1/2 weeks out from my surgery and finally feeling back to normal-ish. For months I was in pain, not eating, not sleeping, having anxiety attacks high blood pressure from the pain and stress etc. And now I'm fine again eating whatever I want ( I had lost about 40 pounds from the whole ordeal because I wasn't eating) and moving around fine. like I was before all my symptoms appeared. I didn't think chronic appendicitis was a thing , and I didn't even think mine was my appendix due to the placement... turns out my insides aren't placed right. And it was my appendix the whole time. You aren't alone and im glad you figured out what was wrong. God bless.
Do you feel and lump.. Air cushion sign on the right
I'm so sorry for what you've been through, that sounds awful 😭 it's so frustrating and disheartening when you are repeatedly dismissed and not taken seriously by doctors, and when you have no answers or diagnosis for your pain!! I'm glad that you are better with your appendix removed though, I'm glad you got some relief!
I've been experiencing recurrent bouts of pain, but it is only in my abdomen, usually in the center, but I've also had one episode of sharp, right-sided pain as well. It started a few years ago and it would come back maybe a couple times a year, but now it's like 1-2 times a month, and its a really dull pain that progresses to nausea and vomit and intense pain for several days and then will disappear after. I've had an xray, blood work, urine sample, pregnancy test, ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound, and nothing has really come back except for high white blood cell count. Possible theories by doctors are endometriosis and chronic appendicitis. I'm supposed to be getting more tests done to figure out what it could be, and in the mean time I'm just trying to manage the pain when it flares up but not knowing is so frustrating! It takes so long to find answers and you tell your story to so many different doctors but it's like they're all getting different bits and pieces.
Ive had this for 7 years, its ruined my life😢ive had various tests but they keep saying my appendix is fine, but i know its not. Ive given up now, wait for it to burst, ive learnt to live with it.
Made me want to cry! I know the feeling of being labeled with anxiety when you are truly in constant pain and your pain threshold is so high that they don’t understand. It’s a horrible feeling. I am on the road to healing through long fasts and homeopathy but having no answers is so hard. I have had the same pains as you but moreso in the front down the groin. The PT can feel how tight my illiacus is and how swollen my whole hip is from almost 2 years of pain. I am sending in my CT scans this week to a an online second opinion doctor since I am newly pregnant and pains have worsened along with shortness in of breath and I can no longer do my long fasts. Not eating was the only thing that made it feel better sadly.
I hope you are feeling much better! Thanks for sharing! (Ps I also thought my lymph is enlarged because of the chronic infection I am fighting there.)
I feel like this is what I have, for 8 years I have had this pain. I’ve had an abdominal ultrasound (found out I had PCOS) and I also had a colonoscopy. After the colonoscopy they told me I probably just have IBS. Put me on meds, and that just made my stomach cramp really bad. Even had a doctor tell me “it sounds like something that will go away on its own” EIGHT years later and I still have this terrible pain that comes and goes. I just wish someone would give me the facts. I feel like no doctors actually care. And I’m suffering ALL THE TIME. It’s so fucking frustrating and sometime I can’t help but cry and not because the pain but because I can’t figure out how to make it go away
I've had these pains for yrs also, I've even gone 6 weeks more than once w/o finding out what's wrong with me. The er drs. Are plain stupid and they don't care.
I read lot of medical documents based on chronic appendix cases and its harder to be diagnosed ( its rare condition only 7 percent of all appebdix case's).. For this will need CT scan and blood test ( leukocytes , CRT ( c reactive protein) And pray if ct scan detect something wrong with your appendix ( like fecalith ) bcs sometime your hole between appendix and cecum can be smaller and he can easy obstructed ( this can case little to average pain and other symptoms) till it unblocked and later months or years can returns
Heyy Someonee first i had leukotytes 12 and C reactive protein 9 and again aftter one moth i have leukotyes 9( that s means is good) and C protein 15, i have little pain in my right hypocondru, you think is chronic apendites?
How did you get on . I have been going through this for 15 years now
@@AnnAnn-qd3xw I don't think I have this anymore still not exactly sure of the cause. But I know hormonal birth control helps a ton. Still have pain during my menstrual cycle but a lot less than without BC (learned my lesson going off of it) wish it would just go away without it meds tbh but idk what else to do. Maybe get tested like what they're saying in the replies!
So glad I came across this video ! I've had Lower right abdomen pain for almost 4 years now . The doctors first said it was hormonal, then they said it was muscular then 2 years ago, they thought it was a female issue so they did exploratory surgery and ended up removing scar tissue I had from previous c sections. But after that the pain returned. I feel like it may be my appendix or colon issue as well. I have the same thing happen , they push on my stomach and it doesn't hurt so they rule it out . But I'm going to keep on until I find out what is the problem. No one should have to live in pain! Pain is our bodies' way of telling us something isn't right. Thank you for sharing , I hope that you are closer to healing from what was causing you pain .
Hi It sounds like you have gone through the same trauma as me. Sadly i still don't have any answers, and am still having issues with whatever is wrong with me. It wasn't my appendix, but they are leaning towards something like crohn's disease or a bowel related problem. Mainly my mental state has suffered the most in the last 6mnths. All the build up of pain an trauma has really effected my internal engine, i have trouble sleeping every night,......i wouldn't wish it on anyone. The Psychiatrist says i have medical anxiety, plus depression. Put that with the chronic pain an i am one mentally messed up dude lol I hope you have found some answers that can lead you in the right direction. Don't give up and push the doctors to find out what is wrong. You are so right, no one should have to suffer and live with chronic pain.
Tamina's World Thank you so much for sharing your story. My wish for you is that they find out exactly what is going on so that you can begin to feel better! Take care !
@@CandiceAfterAll hope you’re doing well. Did your doctors found what was it?
@@Leah-mk9nr Hi! We finally concluded it to be scar tissue from my c sections. My doctor ended up performing a hysterectomy on me, removing my uterus, cervix and Fallopian tubes. It’s been over a year since the surgery and I am in a lot less pain. I do still get pains during ovulation (my ovaries weren’t taken out ) and if I get dehydrated. But the scarring was bad inside of me. It was connecting my organs together . The hysterectomy definitely helped but I still have pains because the hysterectomy in itself created more scarring. I just take it one day at a time. I made a video about it on my channel where I go more in depth. 💛
@@CandiceAfterAll Hey! Wow it has been a lot for you, I’m glad you feel better. I will definitely check out for your story. Be safe and take care. 😉
You've helped a lot of people by sharing this. I am currently in a similar place. I have a cat scan and collonscopy next week. If they do not determine anything my surgeon said he will do a laronscopy; investigative surgery with a small rod camera. This should all happen in the next 2 week's. So I'll com back then and pass on th knowledge. Symptoms at present - lower right back pain, pain in the lower right abdomen, no appetite, nausea, constipation, weakness in legs, hydrocele, bloating hard tummy and lots of gurgling. Im a 32 year old athlete with a great diet. Had these symptoms 3 years but they became a lot worse last week. I'll keep you posted.
Any update
Any update???
Update, how you doing?
About 6 months ago I got pain on the back of my ribs went to the ER got a catscan blood work etc. everything came back normal about a month ago my upper right abdominal was inflamed and felt like I was getting stabbed on my right side. The feeling felt like I was literally dying had a fever like symptoms as well . The pain settled but never went away I deal with dull pain everyday that goes from my upper right rib to my side to my back right side. I feel nauseous everyday and it’s hard to digest or use the bathroom. I got a ultrasound about a week ago and my doctor said everything came back normal. It is mentally exhausting everyday living with this dull pain that comes and goes. My mental state has dropped to an all time low.
Jose Tobias bro that’s me man honestly I get u
This sounds like what I'm going through right now. I went to the emergency room a week ago and got a CT with contrast done and they said there was nothing there, but the pain's been so bad that I can't sleep.
Same!! It’s so miserable!! Bloating, constant pain in my lower abdomen, and lower side. My surgeon said I had subacute appendicitis. “Chronic appendicitis”. They can’t see my appendix on the CT. It’s tucked under something. It hurts to walk and sleep, and sit. Comes and goes but mostly chronic now. Feels like the worst stomach ache. I have a mild pain on the rebound push test. My surgeon will be taking it out. I hope you feel better and find out what’s wrong! Just wanted to share my story to see if you have the same symptoms.
@@FancFree85 any update?
@@xXPlasmaFireXx hi! Yes, I had my appendix out and I have improved greatly!!! The pain used to make me feel like I even had horrible UTIs. Ever since I’ve had surgery, I have not had any of these issues. The pain is finally gone! My surgeon said my appendix had scar tissue built up inside and that meant at one point it had been blocked off and that’s why the pain. I’m so glad it’s gone! Chronic appendicitis IS a real chronic health issue. You just have to find a Dr who knows about it.
I think I might have chronic appendicitis because my symptoms are VERY similar
I have a 14 year old son going through this right now. It is so affecting his life and numerous tests have revealed nothing. Every time I bring up Chronic Appendicitis, I get shut down. No pain killers he has been given to date have worked except morphine at the ED once. We too have been told its muscular, now its ETAP, athlete stitch while he is swimming. I keep asking about the pains he gets when not swimming. His are daily but intermittent. Going on 3 years now and getting really worse since end of January this year. He has been suggested from the hospital to see a psychologist to manage the pain. Specialists, drs, and still no answer. Off to a private surgeon Tuesday. But I don't like our chances as the gastroenterologist referred us and stated his ideas in referral letter. We will keep fighting until someone believes us there is Chronic appendicitis
I realize this is old but how is your son?
They should have figured this out long ago lower rt side is almost always appendix.I just had mine taken out two days ago .I still have some pain but not near as bad.The doctor said it would go away in a few days.I had my gallbladder taken out 3 years ago and gall stones .I had chronic pain with that for months.Very suve re stumich pain.I know exactly how he was feeling.Its something I would never want anyone to go through.
I feel for you. I am going through something similar with lower abdominal cramps and slight pain when pressing on my right side. However no pain kidney side.
This story sounds so frustrating mate, i've been dealing with simliar issues 6 weeks now and fed up, hoping to get a diagnosis soon and i hate when they think its in your head or some crap like that
Same problem for me i have 1 month pain and does your pain is only in right abdomen or also in legs and thigh back pain
@@nabinghimire5746 I have pain in lower right abdomen, back pain, leg cramps sometimes.., nausea and diarrhea.
I'm just 18 y/o 😔😔 Pray for me.
Thanks for telling you're story. One week ago my apendix was taken out. It was full of pus. My story started 8 YEARS ago. It was for sure chronic apendicitis. So much pain....adicitid to morfine...all becouse the docters did not take me seriousley...
u been suffering for 8 years ? how often would your lower right abdomen hurt?
same as you man .. my GP don't thinking its appendix but I know from where pain is and its exact from it .. its 8 years and it appear every 2/3 years ( it depends )
@@rqjgaming It did hurt most of the time. But it was a nagging pain. Now and than, mostley when I was lifting something, there was extreme pain. Almost could not breath. Only a shot of morfine could cure that pain. My surgeon said, my appendix was traped behind my abdominal muscle. That was caused the extreme pain. Now he is out I can lift stuff. I can do a work out. That pain is gone. Only my abdominal nerves hurt sometimes. That is the consequence of my apendix that was inflamed for almost 8 YEARS. My blood did not show an increase of white blood cells so that is why the did not look any further ...
Oh man excruciating pain for 8 years that’s no fun at all
@@MeganWhamGMfan it can be liver stones or else .. better visit some md to check what is wrong
Sorry you suffered for so long. Glad it’s sorted now 🙏🏽
I had my appendix removed 3 weeks ago. Two to three month before it was inflamed but the tests were only moderate painful but the sono showed heavy inflammation. I took antibiotics for a week and it resolved. One month later it flared up but not severe and resolved with natural antibiotics and very slow eating but a few weeks later again pain. This time different with burning. Sono showed moderate inflammation but pain was getting worse so they took it out. I think this was the best option. Not only the pain was gone but a lot of things improved I did not think of. Problems I had for many years. I tolerate foods now that made me fell bad for years. So I think the appendix was irritated for a very long timend I did not notice. Pain after eating to much, also on the left side or around the navel area. Back pain, „kidney problems“… I feel better psychological. Less to no anxiety, dark thoughts. Inflammation can trigger some kind of existential angst. I read about zytokines and inflammatory markers. These can depress your mood. Inflammation is not only physical but through blood brain barrier it can affect your brain. Felling exhausted etc. My tounge always had a white coating which is gone now. And also some minor other improvements. I think about how many people have issues with their appendix and not know about it. Or other inflammation (stomach, teeth, gut etc.) that puts their lives into misery. Thank you for your video.
5 plus years of pain and sickness and being misdiagnosed. Went to ER 2 weeks ago had appendix removed. Pain sickness is gone. Good luck bro.
Wow I’ve been through so much of the same, including the neck mri. In and out of ER, many do or appointments. I had episodes that would start with a little twinge and it would quickly escalate to severe back and chest pain, it would go up my neck into my ear. I would have to breath through it until the throwing up would begin. It could last up to 3-6 hours. I would try and change my diet, I would try everything and nothing helped. My neck and back muscles were getting worse and worse, I was sleeping in an acupuncture pad every night. I felt like I was slowly dying. I felt like my body was sick and attacking itself but because nobody could see it and nothing was showing up clearly in tests, everyone thought I was a hypochondriac I’m sure. The smallest tasks seemed impossible. This lasted about a year. Finally one day my stomach just started aching after I did some raking. The pain got worse and wrapped all around my stomach and back. I through up all night and had no energy. Finally the next day if rove myself to the hospital. After ct scan they said I had appendicitis and needed to do surgery. After surgery I had a horrible reaction where the gas they pump into you during surgery went up into my chest which mimicked a heart attack. After running tests and having cardiac enzyme bloods drawn for 24 hours, another ct scan to rule an aortic aneurysm. I started to pass the gas slowly which relieved the feeling that I was having a heart attack. I’m 4 days post my appendectomy and all the neck and back pain that I have been suffering with constantly has disappeared! It’s amazing what your body does to try and show you that something is wrong. It’s almost like I was being slowly poisoned but if it’s not flared up at time of ct scan they just miss it. My heart goes out to everyone who has gone through this .🙏
WOW! IF ANYONE CAN RELATE IT IS ME!!! I am 22 years old. Had a c section in March. Blood clots and a collapsed lung in April. Since May I have had shortness of breath, pain when breathing, burning right side pain. Many many test such as, abdominal & chest CT scan, x rays, ultrasounds, blood work, urine, hida scan, pulmonary function test. Some kind of dye for your lungs and I layed under xrays, I've had a colonoscopy, I've had an upperscope, I've had my gallbladder out, and I still can't breathe, it still hurts and I still have this burning right side pain. The only things they have found is chronic gastritis, a blood clotting disorder, and lung nodules. I am at a loss. My sister has been diagnosed with MDS cancer that is uncurable. Everything is just horrible and nobody can find out what is wrong!! Ahh. I'm really trying to hang in there. I truly understand what it's like to not know or have a diagnosis. They just want to tell you its anxiety. You know it's not. Never give up trying for answers!! I am being referred to a teaching hospital so I hope I get some answers!!!
Thank you for your video its sounding a lot like what I myself am going through myself. I have a non obstructing kidney stone and was told it shouldn't be causing my issues. I have an "elongated appendix" My symptoms are right abdominal pain like a bad bruise in that entire side that wraps around my back and goes towards the groin, pain around and mostly on right side belly button. I been through hell with getting doctors to listen like yourself and yeah it makes you feel like you're going fucking crazy. Prayers for you my dude.
Did u get ur surgery done???
@@shruti6418 yes. Was a 1.4cm kidney stone.
@@scottjohnson9619where was the kidney stone located? I am feeling the same pain you’re describing.. from lower right back to oblique to right lower belly button. It’s been over 2 weeks.
@joeyhomewood Right side. Stone was too big to pass and It was blocking urine from passing. Had to have a Stent after stone removal. Not fun.
I thought I had chronic appendicitis too and your symptoms and story sound so similar to mine, but I think I finally have an answer to mine: blood clots! I ended up having a Pulmonary embolism during pregnancy and upon blood thinner treatment, eventually had some DVT type of leg pain(likely from the clots clearing) even though I hadn’t had DVT symptoms prior to that except for hip and right sided pain radiating up and down my right side. You can have blood clots anywhere in your body and it can happen in healthy people, especially who weight lift but because they are so healthy they don’t present with the tachycardia and other symptoms as noticeably. Also it seems like the veins and arteries hurt more after the clot passes than when they are stuck. I have felt random pains all over as thought he clots are moving through being on blood thinners.l and then eventually relief. Maybe if it flares up again have them check your d-dimer levels during the worse of it. Hope you get better soon!
Omg I've been suffering from this condition for almost 3yrs. I can't handle the pain anymore. But with me the pain is always a dull throbing pain everyday I'm on all kinds of medications. My life has suffered greatly, but I can't find a surgeon to remove the appendix.
im also sufferring from chronic appendicitis it took 21 years of pain it all started when iwas 16 years old and now im 38
damn it it dstroys more than half of my life .after my operation in august 2019 my stomache not hurt anymore.the pain started 1999-2019
Can I know did u feel pain when u put a pressure on it?
@@mrs_park8803 yeah it hurts when i press my near belly button. and always bloated and feels heavy im always sleeping with pillows under my hip cause it relieved the pain.
@@b-e-s5495 I also feel pain for days now on my lower right side. But, when I put a pressure on it I feel no pain at all. Is it appendicitis?
@@mrs_park8803 mine when i press it when it is first started theres a little pain thats why i ignore it. but dont ignore it sometimes theres no pain when you press it its like come and goes the pain
@@b-e-s5495 did the pain come every months?
I have been going through this for the last 15 years. All sorts of test and scans and nothing showing up. Now my gp has mentioned appendicitis and I am convinced I have chronic appendicitis. Like you the hospital said it wasn't my appendix due to bloods being clear. I was refused a ct scan and now am pushing for this to ne done. I got so down and depressed also, I would be crying with the pain 😔 😢 😭
I was just diagnosed with chronic appendicitis. Random pains in my abdomen but no fever and the pain was like 5/10 for the past year or so for 3-5 days. Have to get it removed before it becomes acute at some point and I'm far away from a hospital.
Is your pain on the right side or an over?
@@fae137 it was the lower right part of the abdomen if you're looking down at your stomach. My doctor did a test and pushed in and quickly released and it hurt like crazy to verify. Got it removed and took about a week to recover.
@@crimsonbear22 are you still in pain after having it removed? Or are you better? I am currently going through this and I’ve had 3 CT scans and they keep saying nothing is wrong with me. I have suffered with this for 4 months so far. Just this last week it’s gotten so so bad.
@@roxieavalonart definitely better it was totally worth it. I still have oddd phantom pains but that's going to happen. You know side note: you may want to look into psoas pain as it runs through the same area. But otherwise your body could be fighting off the appendicitis and doesn't show up on the scan then returns? Sorry to hear!
I had this. 5 years of chronic on again off again dull sometimes sharp pain in my right lower quadrant. It turned acute this past week. Had my appendix out yesterday. I think this is a real problem that isn’t well understood by medical professionals. They seem to think appendicitis just happens, but I think it’s clear that it can progress over time at least in some cases like mine. Stuff I read is that they seem to think this only happens in 1-2% of cases. I’m not so sure about that. It might be a bigger issue.
Wow this is what I feel like. I’ve had pain for about nine months now. I had a CT scan back in October, that showed no appendicitis but some small lymph nodes in the ileocecal area. They told me I probably had a GI infection, and it should go away. Well it didn’t, I still get pain on and off. It’s usually present more often than not. If I bend down to pick something up I’ll get a pressure feeling in my abdomen, if I sit I’ll get pain. If I lay too flat on my back I’ll get pain, if I sneeze a bunch I’ll get a throbbing pain for a few minutes. It really sucks. I have a GI appointment coming up they want to do a colonoscopy. I just wish I could go see a surgeon.
Me too!! how's things now?
@@kimcz it’s finally gone for me thank God. I think maybe it was an infection at one point and it just took a long time to heal
Dude I had a year of visiting the doc, loads of tests, bloods indicating some higher than normal levels and that I was fighting an infection, same symptoms every time, pain, sickness, irregular bowel activity, and feeling fatigued, antibiotics prescribed after which 1 week of feeling ok then cycle would start again. Final chat with doc, left me gobsmacked, Doc suggested I had a fatty liver and just left it at that, at which point I had had enough. I was in constant pain and my head was not working properly at all, and my fatigue just got worse, not able to be as active as normal and weight increased over period of time too!
Long story short, 3 months later burst appendix, gangrene and sepsis, 7 days in hospital, 10 days later 30 staples removed and wound opened up loads of fluid pouring out, returned to hospital to be informed that the wound would have to heal from the inside out. 19 months on still having complications and situation is still not entirely concluded. My scar is huge, I’ve had loads of internal pain and my belly button is about 50mm to the left of where it used to be! My right hand side and to the left of the scar protrudes out at least 100mm more than the same area on the left side of my abdomen, this area of my body has been nicknamed as the AEC, (alien eruption centre) by family and friends, my consultant believes it to be a “Complex Hernia” ?? The saga continues..........
praying for your healing. I wish more doctors would accept chronic appendicitis as more common than they believe it to be...
This is almost the exact same thing happening to me. I have been in extreme pain for almost 2 years now and I have had more tests than anyone my age should. I am a dancer and it gets extremely painful with movement. I have been to the ER countless times I have had colonoscopies, endoscopes, blood work, Ct scans, x-rays and ultrasounds. Absolutely no answers! It hurts really bad and no one knows what's wrong. I have already had my gallbladder removed at 14 years old. I keep insisting it is my appendix but no one believes me. Thank you for sharing your story. It is very refreshing to know someone else has had the same problem!
Hey! Angel turns out in the end it was chronic chrones disease I’m on meds not and so much better
You are lucky it didnt burst.You are going to heal .
Our 11 year old is sitting in the hospital right now and it's such a hard decision to know wether or not to give him the surgery. There are a number of studies showing that a lot of people who forgo surgery and just take the antibiotics are fine. But the risk of a ruptured appendix is really risky as well.
In the future if you ever have a doctor that refuses to do a test or prescribe a medication or anything else you think you need an attorney said say to the doctor: "I want you to write for me the medical criteria why you're refusing to do... such and such test... make such and such referral to whatever specialist... prescribe such and such medication or treatment and add a copy as a permanent part of my medical record."
I actually did this once for my 8 yr old daughter who had Lyme's disease but the doctor wanted to do a bone marrow test instead It came back red hot Lymes. Naturally the doctor tried to shrug it off and act like it was her idea to do the limes test and never mention the extremely painful bone marrow biopsy she wanted to do again. I used it for myself when I had Lymes disease during pregnancy with my 4th child and the emergency room didn't want to test for Lymes because neither my other daughter nor I got a bullseye rash even though I was unable to stand or walk any longer. My little dog had gotten Lymes right after me without a bullseye rash and a mere veterinarian did the test right away and saved his life. Needless to say my test came back red hot. I used it about 10 years after that when I had something wrong with my heart that wasn't showing up on the EKG in the doctor's office many times she insisted I see a psychiatrist. So finally I used it to get an ultrasound where they said I "only had a skip in my heart" which after following up with an actual cardiologist using a "sonogram with bubble" turned out to be left mitral valve regurgitation. Now I'm watching your video because I have pain I believe is my appendix. My daughter had her appendix out because she had chronic appendicitis and her appendix was as the doctor called it "cranky" and slightly inflamed. His opinion was it was better to just take it out than have her come back in a week or a month. I mentioned her having appendicitis because it can come on from viruses and I've heard many experiences of people getting appendicitis and their family members getting it before or after them too. I know I'm not going to be believed for some of the same reasons you were not believed. But I am very grateful to that attorney for arming people with the right terminology to defend ourselves against doctors who ignore their patients.
I hope you never have to use that dialogue, but if you do I hope it helps. I listen to your whole story and am very sorry that you had to go through that. Sadly I know that feeling personally. Psychiatric medications can cause many physical problems some of them can't be fixed even when the medication is stopped. Thank you for your video. I wish you well!!
I’ve suffered with this on and off for nearly 20 years been admitted and discharged 15 times over the 20 years and now it back again Been like it for 3 days and I really don’t know wether to go to the hospital or not 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Same
Thank you so much for putting this online! Maybe I have it, too. Next week I will get an appendectomy after 2 years of pain. I keep you updated, if that was really the problem! :) Have a nice day!
yes please let me know how it goes. When i tell people about what i went through they can't believe that something like this can go undetected for soooo long. There must be more people out there suffering the same way i did and still have no answers
I will keep you updated. Have you got your lab results already and is your pain getting better? I truly have exact the same story, just that they always sent me to the gynecologist and I had one Laparoscopy already, because of a "female" issue and they did`t look at my appendix. After that and my pain was not getting any better - it was "all in my head". Chronic pain is really the worst. So I can feel you - I really hope, that that journey is now going to an end with getting out my appendix :) And I hope you feel better and can start your life again.
Yes i got the lab results back, and the thing that was found is that i had lymphnode hyerplasia of the appendix. Yes the pain i was having has gone away but now i hav the recovery pain and it is playing on my mind,.....i have been traumatized by what i have been through and it has effected me mentally. I hope in time the mental scares heal.
Lymphoid hyperplasia is an increase in the number of normal cells (called lymphocytes) that are contained in lymph nodes.
This most often happens when there is an infection with bacteria, viruses, or other types of germs and is part of the body's reaction to the infection. So it seems that for over 2 years i have been fighting some infection, virus, or bacteria inside me. I actually need to make a follow up video to update what has happened since operation and how i am feeling now.
I hope they find out what is causing your chronic pain......yes it is the worst, no one should have to live like this
Hey there - I had my surgery in the morning and yes, I had it, too! Chronic appendicitis (From what the surgeon could see). They also found a not so big ovarian cyst on the right, so I stay hopeful, that the pain was caused by the inflamed appendix and the cyst will naturally resolve :) How are you felling now? I will keep you updated after recovery and when I have the lab results, if my pain is gone with my appendix :)
I totally can feel you, so many doctors tell you, that it`s all in your head or that sometimes no actually problem can be found and one has to learn to live with that pain. But it`s really a strange idea to tell a young person to "simply" live with chronic pain. I totally can feel you how devastating it is. My story is like yours, you are not alone and I really got depressed about that and sometimes even thought, that I can`t live with that pain and from a rational viewpoint suicide would be the better option. :D BUT all in all I learned a lot - to hear what my body is trying to tell. Got me to healthy routines, and how to "survive" in the medical system etc.
I really hope that this time of constant pain is over for you and for me _ good luck and have a nice recovery!
That is incredible!!! Why is this type of thing flying under the radar? Why do Doctors not pick it up?
I am so happy for you. I hope the only pain u feel now is the recovery pain. After about 4 weeks i started to doubt whether or not i was "FIXED",.......its the mental scars that i am having trouble dealing with.
I 100% know exactly were you are coming from,......i don't like to admit it, i like to say i was in a dark place,......but i couldn't continue to live a life feeling the way i was. Words can't describe the trauma i went through, the weight, the pain i carried around pretending i was coping ok when really i was struggling.
I need to do a update video in the next few days, keep an eye out for it, an i hope you are feeling like the old you again :)
Been diagnosed with this today after 14 months of pain. Finally I know why my pain is happening.
Hey, i want to know more about what happened because i am in a state of confusion. Could we please talk else where?
Can you please tell how exactly you were diagnosed?
@@PKPK-br4gn so I kept going to the doctors complaining about the pain and they diagnosed me with several different things to begin with I even had medication for a suspected infection. In the end I was in the doctors about 10 times the last time the doctor done a pressure test on my stomach and the pain was unbearable! He then looked concerned and referred me to hospital for a scan. The scan confirmed it.
They have told me it's not acccite appendicitis and there fore will not operate until necessary. Saying that I've been diagnosed for over a year and 90% of time I don't have an issue with it. I have changed my lifestyle since. Eating healthier and lost 70 pounds in weight.
I was told the pain was caused by a small blockage in my appendix. This is normal and can be caused by fecal matter. I'm rare cases however it can be caused by a tumor. If your experiencing the same symptoms get it checked just in case.
Brendan Blake what scane CT or IRM? What s is better?
@@cristimarius1197 I had ct I think it showed a slight inflammation and they worked out it was due to blockage
Thank you for sharing your story
This happend to me! 4 yrs and I would get bouts of chronic diarrhoea and I couldn't bend over and do my shoe laces and it felt like my back was breaking sometimes.
This is exactly what's happening to me. I have had two CT scans and they said Nothing was wrong. So now I drink liquor to ease the pain. I don't know what else to do.
I wish there was some other remedy apart from surgery. Hell scared to do surgery. And even more scared that it might burst.
I think this is happening to me. I’ve had this recurrent pain for years. I just went last week finally because I couldn’t move. They did a ct and ultrasound and couldn’t image my appendix but all my labs were fine so they sent me home. I have tenderness, but I’m like not really a screamer, so I guess a grimace isn’t enough of a pain response and it is nbd cuz women just deserve to be in pain I guess.
Thanks for sharing, I think I have this now as a complication of chronic Candida infection.
Bruh I would be pissed
I have the same problem,It affects my eating & digestion.Last yr. I finally went to the hospital 2 different ones,and because I was not rolling around in pain they felt it was not my appen. but they did a lot of test and said I had stones in my appendix but did nothing at this time I had gone over 30 days without eating I would through it up I had one Dr. tell me well if you had not keep anything down for 30 days you would be in worse shape than you are in now.I do throw up bright yellow bile and black coffee like blood.I had the same problem with my gallbladder I finally got a Dr. who took a chance even though my test all showed nothing wrong.I have a lot of issues any way from a 4-wheeler accident.I have been going through this since 2015 when I went through cancer treatment at that time I felt the throwing up was from the chemo.I have the pain constant but I take pain meds for other stuff.So no I will not be rolling in pain.I guess I will have to wait till it burst before they do anything.The last hospital I went to they keep me 3 days and let me go while I was still not eating but they are the ones who told me I had stones.I was baffled.
Has anyone had weight loss? Muscle loss? Bloating?
yeah chronic appendix can case loss of appetite
I had chronic appendicitis for most likely 5+ years. Reoccurring painful bloating was my biggest symptom. I had other things going on as well, but when it escalated and I was sick for 3 months straight, they finally went in and sure enough, the appendix was completely shriveled up and lab confirmed appendicitis. 2 ct scans missed it. It was hell
@Idania Navarrete do you mean did it come and go? Yes. It would always flare in the evening. And generally fade some if I layed on my gut and just fell asleep. But it became more and more frequent as the years went on. But I also have ongoing other issues, so it's hard to solely pinpoint anything except the chronic bloating. That was most def my appendix because I have had it maybe twice somewhat in the 3 years since removal, whereas before it was twice or more a week. They told me it was IBS.. ha. Anyways. . I had constant ache in that area only in the last month or so before surgery. BUT that ache came back a lot after, HOWEVER, I had intense muscle massage work on that area after a second surgery for endometriosis and it finally has been gone for over a year. I thought maybe it was ovary related, but it wasn't going away after surgery and ovaries where fine, but the massage helped relieve it a ton. I think that ache was muscular. But was it brought on by chronic inflammation in that area? I don't know.
But the tight painful bubbling bloat that would cover almost my whole stomach and feel like it would explode, the chronic gas, and even strong anal itching, all went away. Now I only get bloat when overdo gluten, but that's not even everytime. And gas is also only when I eat poorly, but it's nothing at all compared to my life before surgery.
I wish I could say it solved all my other GI pain, but that has just gotten worse with gall bladder removal.. But that's another story.
@Idania Navarrete oh and being sick for months beforehand also came from my enlarged gall bladder that 2 CT scans, an ultra sound, and the hida scan all missed.
@@alisue4426 helo
I’ve been having the same problems for nearly 9 years now currently trying to convince my now doctor that that’s what it is. Wounding if you’ve got any advice for me just I believe getting them out would be life changing for me like the day it started when I was 18 I’m 27 now. Would really appreciate it if you see this & reply thank you for your time
Mick
Sometimes doctors after test and test and test cant find anything that is causing the pain you have the right to ask for the removal of the appendix as it has 0 use in our body we know our bodies better than anyone.
Hello
Damn this is crazy i literally have suffering ln pain in my lower right abdomen since like 2014 and ive done every test and they keep telling i yr s fine yet im in pain 24hrs 7 days a week. Its almost like doctors refuse to believe this condition exists its crazy i just wish a doctor would take mine out just to see because if nothing is wrong fine whats the harm but i f its the cause then i can finally be out of pain
if u have pain in your right lower abdomen 24 7 for thee past 5 years i would get a ct scan and a colonoscpoy your appendix could be inflammed and ready to burts or you might have a bowel condition like colotis orr chrons
hi I had lower right pain in my stomach. The pain moved towards my belly button. My belly button became inflamed and then next day the pain went away. After that I only have like a small pain and my lower right of my stomach seems like it's inflated.
Am on recovery room right now from an exactly story
I had chronic appendicitis. It took me 4 months to figure it out and had to demand doctors to listen to me. They tried to say my pain was caused from mental trauma. I’ve been through a lot. Chronic appendicitis is real!
That sounds exactly like me, but i suffered for over 3yrs lol I have been through hell also, thnx for your comments
I had this pain on and off for years with a low grade fever. It just all the sudden got bad in August. I had an exploratory surgery and they found a patch of endometriosis. Two months later I could no longer stand the pain. I was in the hospital again and got accused of wanting pain meds, they thought I was insane and tried to force me into a psych ward. Got a HIDA scan done that showed I had cholecystitis. Went to a different hospital to get that taken out. Two weeks later I was back in the hospital and I was still ignored. I demanded to see a new surgeon. He finally agreed to take my appendix out alongside the gynecologist who took out the endometriosis to be sure all bases were covered. I am now two weeks post op and got the pathology report and what do you know! I had appendicitis! They said it must’ve been years due to the way it looked. I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time as well. But you’re not alone!
Hey, i would like to know more about your symptoms
Shoot man. I'm having the same thing. My bottom right abdomen near my ribs is not feeling comfortable for he past 6 years. Right now currently the pain is getting stronger. It feels like the whole ribs are inflamed. A pressure on the right side. I've been going to the doctors for 6 years now, got a X-ray, ultra sound, they did the push test and everything.
Thank you for your story. Now I know for sure it's my appendix that is fooling around with me.
Tamnia, to fall asleep, were you sleeping on your side? (Putting pressure on the right side of your body) ? Did this pain make you not want to eat?
I've been sleeping on my right side of my body for 6 years now. I can never sleep in any other position.
My pain would always seem to last for about 3months of intense/extreme pain, and would fade away on its own, but would never really go away if that makes sense. It was a very strange/hard feeling to describe. At times it felt like a stabbing feeling in my lower right back and on my right side, then it would feel like someone had stapled a piece of cardboard inside me with a rock in side it, it felt like a deep dull constant pain. It was always there, always on my mind, every moment of the day. I just became tolerant to the pain because i didn't get help or answers from doctors so i had to tolerate the pain or i would go mental. By the end it did send me crazy, i am still emotionally scared due it. My appendix was tucked behind my bowel, so maybe this was why the push test never affected me, but i was in extreme pain all the time so the push test wouldn't of made any difference. You should push your doctors to look into Chronic Appendicitis if all other tests have come back clear. I got tested for a rare form of tumor/cancer because all my other tests were coming back clear.....................it was just the fact that i had visited emergency 6 times in less than 2 months that they started to think it MIGHT be my appendix, and that i wasn't just suffering anxiety or just a hypochondriac. Hope you find out something soon and get some help
Hank you for answer. How do you feel now? Are you relaxed?
To be honest i spent such a long time suffering chronic long term pain my mind is still damaged from the months/years of pain. Physically i am starting to feel ok, but mentally i am not in a good place just yet. I now suffer anxiety and am still worried about the future, how i am going to return to work, how i am going to get my fitness back...........so now it seems i have more mental damage due to the chronic pain over time. I will keep you posted in the next few weeks when my surgery wounds heal and i start moving around more freely :)
@@TaminasWorld so wait your pain in back and low right abdomen this whole time was because of chrons disease? not appendix
Scrolling the internet and searching and searching and I came across this...
I feel like that I thought bad back always my lower right ride and to my belly button. It's getting to be too much :(
I have anxiety even now I'm having a hard time breathing. Doctors just give me antibiotics
I had it from thursday to wednesday when they performed the appendectomy.
Hi, I'm so sorry that you had to suffer for so long, I'm only 21 years old and I've been suffering from severe abdominal pain in the exact same region for 3 years and doctors have no idea of what the problem might be :( . Did you ever find out what was the cause of the inflammation in your colon?
Chrones disease
I have same and also tight and bloated in the appendix area
I'm having some of the same symptoms you describe. You're saying after all of this crap you've been through, it was Crohns disease?
Ray Jones yep he is currently on steroids for 3mths and it took 4years to find what was wrong now he is on alot of treatment because he has had it so long untreated and it was really bad.
Very sorry to hear that. He's very fortunate to have such a beautiful family surrounding him. You have beautiful children!
Ray Jones thank you very much we are a great team we just had a little boy named xypha 6mths ago 💙 so 4kids all up lots pf love in our house
Congratulations!
Does anybody know anything cause I have constant nausea, chronic constipation, stomach pain, and a constant stitch in my side that keeps switching sides. I have been treated for constipation and acid reflux and NOTHING has worked. I feel horrible and can't do anything. Please HELP ME!!
can we talk smwhere else
@@ibshelpbangladesh1111 hiiii i will probably delete this comment now as i no longer suffer from the symptoms mentioned in this comment. if you wanted to know, my symptoms were linked to anxiety x
I’m so sorry you went through this. I think I may be experiencing something similar.
I’ve had chronic pain on my right side under my ribs and near my belly button for like 3 years now...I’ve had several tests (colonoscopy, CT Scan, exploratory surgery, gallbladder test, etc) and they still can’t find anything wrong. It makes me feel so miserable and hopeless. I’ve lost so much weight and am very weak. I found a surgeon willing to remove my appendix but I’m afraid to do something so drastic...😢
Brianna Lee hey! Don’t give up. I was in and out of the hospital the past 4 months. A HIDA scan showed I had cholecystitis. I had that taken out. The pain persisted. They didn’t believe my appendix was bad. I found a surgeon to take my appendix out. I just got the pathology report and I had appendicitis this whole time!
I also had an exploratory surgery. Colonoscopy. Multiple CT scans. Everything was “normal” but pathology says otherwise!! Good luck !
What happened with the colonoscopy?
Guys does it hurt when u put a pressure on it when u have chronic appendicitis?
I need some advice or info. Since October of 2018 til now I have had dull to sharp pain in lower right region of abdomen. The pain comes and goes and usually only lasts a few minutes. I have taken amoxicillin, clindamycin, and penicillin vk on 3 occasions for a wisdom tooth infection. I have not had a low grade fever or a high fever, no vomiting, no nausea, and I can move around and even jump with no pain. This pain comes different times and some days never. I have had constipation in the past but now I have regular bowel movements. Anyone have advice as I have no health insurance and no money for out of pocket costs. Of course if it comes to a life or death emergency i will go but anyone shed light on this please.???
Carlos Melendez I’ve been going through the same have a colonoscopy tomorrow
Any updates?
Me too same situation
updates?
I had pretty same thing!
Bro that's a misery if they don't find anything they will put you in the psyche side
I feel like I have this I’m currently having tests done… my doctor keeps saying it’s IBS
Same
@@ibshelpbangladesh1111 mine turned out to be an ovarian cyst
How much does the surgery cost out of pocket?
how are things now? hope you feel better. For me its been 5 weeks now that my lower right side started feeling weird after i felt a sharp pain which lasted about 30mins, so i went to the hospital and all test came back clear. Now i feel small pain in areas under my rib cage, from my navel round to my back sometimes and when it doesn't hurt,it feels like a balloon or some mass inside me. I don't know what to do :( is this what i have?
hi 😊 he is going for a colonoscopy on monday hopefully this one with show up more and give us a answer. Darren is still in pain going on 3years now or more with pain its really taking a toll on him. i cant imagine how it must feel for you but watching Darren in pain kills me to watch as i can do nothing to help. i really hope u find out whats up with you x
thats heart breaking to hear, i pray he'll come through. i just got back from the hospital where i was admitted for a night, my abdomen started feeling weird (like electricity, idk) then i felt dizzy and fell over. they did test again and most came back clear except the ultrasound where they noticed something but now i need 2 go for a ct. idk if it was a panic attack but i feel alright now, still hav heavy vision and to think it happened after reading your reply :(
@@TaminasWorld any luck?
@@martinlee2739 he was diagnosed with crohns disease 😣
How do you suffer from appendicitis for 2 years.
High pain tolerance
Is there any other homeopathic cures or hers to treat chronic appendicitis without surgery? I don't have insurance or money for an exam or surgery. Need help as I think I may have chronic appendicitis. Please?
No there is not, however treatment with antibiotics has shown promise as an alternative to an appendectomy, but bear in mind this treatment is not applicable to all cases of appendicitis, chronic or acute, and very likely is not accepted at this point in time as a first-line treatment for appendicitis.
Did you have low blood pressure too???
i would feel like its low but when i would check it would fine
i had chronic appendicitis for 11 years
Now you ok...???
@@ibshelpbangladesh1111 yes, appendicitis is gone now.
@@ibshelpbangladesh1111 had surgery and it was 40% dead.
40% dead means?
@@ibshelpbangladesh1111 the appendix was 40% dead, it was a dying appendix.
