I had no symptoms at all of appendicitis, none. No pain, no fever, and no diarrhea. As far as I was concerned I was a healthy patient. I had kidney pain on my left side and had a CT scan looking for kidney stones, no stones were found but they did find an inflamed appendix. After consulting with my surgeon I had it removed, started with laparoscopy but the appendix was so swollen they couldn't stitch me back up well.
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It may be acute or chronic. In the United States, appendicitis is the most common cause of abdominal pain resulting in surgery. About 5 percent of Americans will experience appendicitis at some point in their lives. Appendicitis can happen at any time, but it occurs most often between the ages of 10 and 30. Itâs more common in males than in females. If left untreated, appendicitis may cause your appendix to burst and cause infection. This can be serious and sometimes fatal.
