Is it pain or is it something more?

There has been a pain on the left and right of my stomach, sometimes it's both sides then it is on the right or left. I went to urgent care to see what was going on since my doctor didn't had an appointment today or just took a day off, the urgent doctor said that my muscles could be inflamed or have muscle spasms. 

So I just shrugged it off like that it could be just pain from exercising. But then the pain was there still and I continued to shrug it off till I had enough of it and went to try to figure out what was going on. 

I went on a symptom checker to see what was really going on with my body. In which when I checked it says appendicitis and you know the bars that said that it was probably it that was causing it? It showed that. Which I'm not feeling any of symptoms of appendicitis at all, I still have an appetite, my temperature is still the same, and I still have the ability to pass gas. But I do understand it can vary from person to person.

But the pain is still there and it was throbbing last night on the right side. The pain is between my stomach, leg, and crotch area.

I wanted to see the doctor about it, every time I tell my mom she just shrugs it off and says it's something else. I know something is going on but I don't know what.

Is it pain or is it something else?

    If it is on both sides of the body than it probably is not appendicitis. I went to the doctor back in April because of the same pains. At first I thought it was appendicitis too since mine was only in one side. Turns out I had two kidney stones, one in each side from being dehydrated. I would ask to get some kind of scan or something and if it turns out to be kidney stones, drink TONS of water. That’ll help flush the stones. If it is appendicitis though, I’d get help right away that can be really dangerous if it bursts. Plus the human body doesn’t need it. When we were still evolving the appendix helped break down foods but today it’s just a useless little organ. I wish you the best of luck ❤️

      Apparently the appendix is the remains of our tail when we had them!
