Could Sharp, Dull, Constant Pain In Abdomen Be Start Of Appendix Problem?
i thought i had appendix pain 2am this morning. it got a little better. it is now 6 pm. it is not excruciating, but it is a dull pain that is still sharp if pressed. can it still be the start of an appendix problem even though the pain never got excruciating and all these hours have passed?

HI. Your pointing to the area of pain is most important for a diagnosis.
If the pain started in the upper abdomen and then settled down to the right iliac( lower) fossa, then this is likely to be an appendix; if in the right upper part can be due to gall bladder and so on.
The best way is to get your clinical examination done by a Surgeon and undergo tests as may be advised by Him/Her.
