I had it when I was 9, and I can still remember the incident clearly.
Was at a wedding dinner that night, when suddenly I started to feel nauseous and I went into retching. No vomiting, only retching. I felt a spell of headache and then developed a high grade fever. There was pain all over the umbillicus region and I had to crouch into the fetal position. The pain was intense, stabbing and comes on and off.
My parents had to carry me out, since I could not walk at all. It was helluva pain. I was rushed into the hospital, and was given a painkiller to resolve the pain. I was able to withstand it till the next day for surgery. It could not be done at that time coz I had a partial stomach (ate something), so have to wait until the next day.
Operation was quick, not much pain, not only after post-op 1st day when the pain started again. But the pain was manageable, unlike the ones mentioned above. I stayed in the hospital for 2-3 more days for observation of wound infection and post-op bleeding. Otherwise, there were nothing much to worry about.
The fear is that the inflammation maybe poorly controlled, and it can perforate your large bowel, since the appendix is located next to it. This perforation can lead to peritonitis - inflammation of the peritoneum (which is the sac in the abdomen). That time shock is imminent and death is possible. -
wah you mean you just suddenly felt the pain and the symptoms or izzit chronic, last the past few days you alr feel pain...?
wat causes appendicitis anyways -
don't do sports immediately after eating and you should be fine..

It came on suddenly... this is acute appendicitisOriginally posted by tooterla:wah you mean you just suddenly felt the pain and the symptoms or izzit chronic, last the past few days you alr feel pain...?
wat causes appendicitis anyways
Chronic appendicitis, the pain is vague and prolonged. Sometimes you may even feel well, but over time, you will feel nauseous and unwell (with fever and a distended abdomen) with localized pain over your right upper groin region. On light touch or palpation, you will feel a hard mass, its an abscess that has accumulated over time because of continuing inflammation and nothing has been done to it. Some may perforate before becoming abscess, whereas some becomes abscess because the intiating cause is minor.
The symptoms can come all at once in 1 second, or over a few days. 6 months of illness is considered chronic, less than 1 month is acute whereas in between we usually call it subacute.
Erm... there is really no known cause as to why it can happen, but a very good hypothesis states that constipation is the number one cause compounded by the factor that the patient does not eat fiber (fruits, vegetables and juices). So what happens is that the feces (sh.it) is hardened and it is tough to pass through the large bowels, and they get impacted on the lumen (small hole) of the appendix leading to stasis. This will eagerly attract bacteria to colonize the area leading to inflammation.
Acute appendicitis favors the young mostly, adults don't really get it probably because their lumen of the appendix is matured and hence larger than that of the child.
The typical tale of don't run around after eating is not proven yet. A good counter-discussion to this tale is that the food remains in the stomach for up to 4 hours, the small intestine for up to 6 hours, and only reaches the site of appendix after the 10 hours, so you shouldn't run around after 10 hours of eating... but that again is not proven yet. -
Gall bladder removal used to be very risky and huge efforts are put in for the operation. If you go and ask those people who have it removed, you will see a long scar just under your right rib cage. It is quite large right?Originally posted by launtpc:oh the appendix.
best is cut gall bladder.
But nowadays, removal of gall bladder can be done through laporoscopic method, meaning they use real-live camera to view the site of the organ and remove it by using the appropriate instruments.
For Laporoscopic Cholecystectomy, they punch 4 small holes around the site of the gallbladder and then remove it. I personally seen 5 operations of this method before. Very quick, efficient and painless. Slightly hard to extract the gallbladder once it is removed, because the hole punched is quite small, but hey, amazingly, it came out.
Used to keep some pictures, but I don't have it now.

well,mine was okay.except my experience was spoilt by those young,witless trainee docs.!next morning wen senior doctor come in, decided within 10minutes that should operate asap...the young ones were still wondering what hit them. Well, the op is nuthing much, they tell u to look up at the 3lights and put a mask over u,telling u its oxygen,but infact is some valium or watever.
Pain is bearable, was walking the evening after the op. Went to toilet and TV room etc.Never take any pain killers also.Haha,gotta take the pain laz. -

Feeling very nauseous, dizzy, tired. Felt like dying....
Can't sit up or walk without help. Keep on vomitting some green stuff.
But about a day or two later, gets slightly better. Can walk and sit on my own, but still painful.
