so about 2 - 2 and a half months ago, i went to the er with very sore stomach pains around the lower right side, about a week - 2 weeks later, they done an ultrasound and blood tests, but found nothing, basically told me they didnt know what was wrong and sent me home. after about 2 - 2 and a half weeks the pain settled down lots for about a month.
About 5 days the pain came back a bit worse, gradually ive lost my appitite (3 days ago i couldnt quite finish my breakfast, this morning i could only manage 4 bites of a peice of toast) and the last 2 nights ive managed 4 hours at most sleep, due to pain, so i went to the doctors today, and he done 4 - 5 tests and told me straight, its about 95% chance you have grumbling appendix, and he told me to just wait out the pain. i just want to get the thing removed now that i know it is my appendix that has been causing me pain.
my questions are: would a hospital remove it at this stage or ask me to wait?
and would it be worth my time going to the ER in the morning (as its pretty late here now) and ask them to remove it, to make sure it doesnt burst while im at home or something?
and what is the earliest stage they will remove an appendix?
any help is apprechiated
cheers, scott.
