Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Doc, well my right side in the front was hurting me really bad and the pain just started last night at work. We I stood up fro my chair I had this terrible pain in my side, and I was wondering could it be my appendix. Right now I am deployed in Aghanistan so could you please give me some advice.
If you have fever and persistent pain in this region, going to the ER is necessary for a physical exam, an abdominal ultrasound and some blood lab tests. Otherwise, if you do not have fever, I recommend taking an antispasmodic drug (buscopan, dicyclomine, etc).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
