I didn't have any of the symptoms mention other than the pain in my side .I went to see a GP who thought it unlikely to be appendicitis because I was 75 and suggested antibiotics or I could go to A and E . After a very long wait I was operated on.When I came round the surgeon told me that it was very nasty. I was so pleased that I went to hospital when I did .

Great video, thanks for sharing doc. It been months now experiencing severe pain on my left belly button in most cases at night. I went to clinics and hospital did blood test and find nothing. I have been booked for gastroscopy if that will help to diagnose my problem.
