Hi there, it all started about 3 months ago when I went to bed one night and got a stomach ache around my naval, I took a colofac pill and tried to sleep, this did not help as the pain moved to the right and gradually got worse, I couldn't sleep yet it was not excruciating pain, just very uncomfortable (kind of like a stitch). So around 8am I head to the walk in clinic and he does a couple of tests and says he doesn't think its appendicitis and that it could be a pulled muscle, but if I feel any sudden pain and double over to go straight to A+E. Pain goes away after 2 days and all is well...

Untill 3 weeks ago I was in Scotland on holiday, it happened again, same scenario except I didn't have a walk in clinic so I did the same thing as last time and rested in bed and it went away after 3 days.

But last night the same thing happens again! Because it's a third time it's freaked me out to the max, with the other two there was no nausea, vomiting, diharea etc etc just the pain but this time I've been sick (this morning when it was bad) and felt much better after throwing up, and it seems like I have a fever, I have no thermometer in the house but I feel hot and I want to say it's because it's been 30 degrees all day but in my situation I don't want to take chances!!


Sorry about the long story hope someone gets back to me as it's scared me. I'm only 19 years old and do suffer from IBS so it could possibly be related but to me it doesn't seem quite right. Thanks in advance.
