I am two weeks post surgery. The pain came out of nowhere. I was not hungry the night before and woke up with severe pain, nausea, and vomiting. Went to the ER and after a CT scan was on the operating table within 30 minutes with a blood infection. It’s no joke how quickly this can sneak up on you. Don’t ignore the pain.

I had my appendix out yesterday. It feels SO MUCH BETTER now. Thanks for the great explanation.

"Whatever the case may be.... it's pretty talented at getting inflamed and causing abdominal pain" This quote had me in stitches for some reason!

One thing that happened to me was the pain mimicked ovulation pain---it started more as a back pain, which I was so used to, I ignored it. I even had a dressage lesson (riding horses) during what was an appendicitis attack, and it ruptured the next day(riding did not cause the rupture). The pain I had was like a gas pain behind my navel first, and lower back. Once it ruptured, it then moved to the lower right side and mother of god, that whole experience was the most pain I've had, and my pain threshold is very high. Upon diagnosis and surgery, the surgeon said my appendix ruptured with such force, it split in 2. Thank GOD I had a good surgeon and medical team, and I loathe antibiotics so the stuff they put me on , while it made me so sick, it killed pretty much everything.

I absolutely love all of your videos. They are so informative and easy to understand when you’re looking for information and don’t necessarily understand all those “doctor terms”. Thank you!

[anniesoren]

These videos are so very helpful, and I have been using them for my patho class. I wish I had found out sooner tho 😭 you guys are amazing and thank you so much for making life much easier ❤️

Sitting in an ER right now, just diagnosed with appendicitis, thank you for this information

Had this when I was about 4 years old, then last year I had abdominal pain, it was an intestinal obstruction.
Had emergency surgery, doctors explained to me it was a result of having appendectomy. Crazy to think that now I'm 24 years old, and the doctors told me that it is lifetime every 20 years that it can occur.

I’m about a week post surgery. I don’t remember eating too much that day but I did have a large order of Taco Bell nacho fries lol. I then took a nap with my fiancée and then I woke up to pain in my lower right abdomen. I was cautious with my movements and that night I decided to sleep it off and to not assume the worst just yet and hope it was just constipation. Well, I woke up the next day and the pain hadn’t left, it didn’t really get worse though. But because I limited my movements I didn’t want to leave my bed the whole day and by evening time I had my fiancée take me to the ER where it was revealed that I indeed had appendicitis. So far so good after a week of surgery (laparoscopic) and am hopeful to be fully recovered here soon! Hope y’all stay healthy! (:

Here I am after an appendicitis in an emergency room. The pain is HUGE, I dont wish it to anyone. Keep eating healthy champions!

My brother is currently undergoing appendectomy, this video helped me calm down... don't think I'll be able to sleep, but it is well explained and easy. Thank you very much.

[JSolisHD]

I have just gotten a Laparoscopic Appendectomy. The abdominal pain leading up to my surgery was the most painful thing that I have ever experienced in my life. Thank God, It is now gone. I really dont want to experience that again.

Both my mom and dad has had appendicitis, where a tiny bit of food, being a part of the intestines, gets stuck and causes it to inflame and it causes severe pain and what happened with my dad was his exploded. But you have to get it surgically removed before it explodes. If it explodes they clean your insides out leaving a bigger scar.

That little worm, though!!:D this was a really funny, cute video with all the little animations. Osmosis really helps to take away the nervousness and apprehension about learning medical concepts

Had mine a week ago. The anaesthesia was awful, but I'm feeling better now 🕺
