Hi I m taking very bad pains for the past 2 days on the left hand side of belly just below my rib cage, I m concerned it could be my appendix. The pain is bad and I ve been on painkillers all day what do u think is causing this ? Would like your advice please and thank you.
The pain of appendicitis (infection of appendix) is present on right side of abdomen. Therefore, not likely that you have appendicitis. To make a confirmed diagnosis, I would require more information whether there is any burning sensation while passing urine or if the pain peaking and declining alternatively. But you don't seem to have appendix infection.
