hi. i m 48 years old, and a little over 2 hours ago i noticed a pain on my right side, just over my hip. i pressed on it and over the next 1/2 hour or so the pain spread out a little until i noticed that it was right where the appendix is. i ve never had a problem with my appendix before. anyway, i looked up the symptoms for appendecitis and i have none of them besides the pain.
