Appendicitis..

yes. i have my own personal experience with appendicitis 1o months ago. Mind is of the gangrenous type. 9 cms long when finally pulled out from me.The doctor have to do a biopsy of the specimen just to rule out cancer or other malignant disease. Appendicitis is asymptomatic. It can strike anytime without any signs amd symptoms and deadly when already ruptured.

Well I haven't tried having appendicitis and God forbid it from happening to me. I do take care of a lot of appendicitis patients in the hospital. I think your brother's case was complicated. He was lucky to have gotten an operation right away. A ruptured appendicitis may cause generalized infection or septicemia and it's very dangerous.

For me yes my neighbor so that it can't happened in you family again don't waste time to bowel if you think it is then it is must immediately.

My father did had his appendix removed as well because it has inflamed. It has to be removed so it will not rupture and will cause further damage on his body. I was not too scared for I know the operation will not take too long nor will be have a big effect on him. But of course there is always a side effect on the anesthetics and medications he has to take pre- and post operation so the worry was always there. What we did was pray. Thank God the operation went well and no complications were noted post operation.

Oh wow. First, let me say I'm happy to hear your brother will be all right. Second, yes I have an experience with appendicitis. It wasn't a pleasant one either. It first started out with several dogs, my dogs, my friend's dogs, a stranger's dog, all sniffing the same spot on the lower right hand side of my abdomen. This occurred many times on different days. The days following I'd feel very weak without explanation. Lack of energy despite having enough sleep. This last a week. Then the actual pain came. Strangely, it started on the left side of my stomach, then it traveled to the center of it..and finally it went to the lower right hand side. My mom took me to a doctor about my "stomach" pain.. And through tapping my foot, somehow it told the doctor about my inflamed appendix. I was rushed in for surgery, and although it came close to bursting, thankfully it did not. But I remember the pain before...and the pain after. I ended up getting sick twice. Once from the poison, and the second from an allergic reaction to the medication. The allergic reaction had me crawling up the stairs to my bedroom... I was so weak I couldn't even stand up. My dog came over, apparently knew what was wrong, and somehow carried me to my bed. But I was in constant pain. I could not cry, laugh, sneeze, or cough without feeling the tightening of the internal stitches. Running, lifting items, doing anything physical caused pain too. In all honesty, the after effects of the surgery were more painful than the appendicitis itself. But that was years ago. I can still recall every vivid detail of the experience. And it is not something I'd wish on any one. I hope your brother makes a complete and full recovery. :)

It is nice to see that your brother is quite okay because rupture of the appendix may endanger life. No, I have no experience of appendicitis.

The they told it is a mild attack, all are so worried because we arrange for sister marriage. So we pray the god, and luckly my mother feel little bit better , so i really thanks to god
