So My Appendix Exploded... 

I'm sorry you had to go through this. I too had a ruptured appendix. I was home for 9 days before I went to the hospital. After 2 days of not being able to find what was wrong they did exploratory surgery and found it had burst. They couldn't believe I loved through it. Bless you, thanks for the video.

I just had my appendix removed and I went to the ER barely being able to walk. I had abdomen pain and felt like my groin was being squeezed and felt I was holding my urine for a really long time. The Doc checked me for a torsion, hernia, and kidney stones, was cleared on all of those and Doc said I was fine and sent me on my way. 6 months later after losing weight, vomiting off and on and more abdominal pain, I returned to the ER. After blood work and CT scan I had a serious infection and my appendix was ready to Burst (again). A 45 minute surgery turned into 3 hours because it was way worse than they had thought. A look back back at that first ER visiting my appendix had ruptured and they missed it. The surgeon that did my surgery was surprised by the scar tissue that had healed over the first rupture and that I had endured this for over six months

Im glad you made it ! My Appendix Removal Surgery took place on the 06 20 24 th this is no joke they did it as a emergency Surgery i felt it still swelling in me before they got it out im glad it is out if me now to recovery stay strong also it is best to take Probiotics do to the Appendix is no longer in there also this is just a suggestion but im taking my Probiotics now it helps since the my Appendix is gone at age 32

Got diagnosed with chronic mild appendix , the doc put me on the medicines told me it will get better with medicines , while my pain goes away and the course of 5 days medication is also over , not feeling much pain , just burning sensation in night , hope i get better with medicines but if surgery needed im not afraid , stay happy eat healthy and live an appendix free life 🎉🥳

😮 it is scary to get sick in the US especially with a burst appendix. In Europe you would have had your appendix removed urgently and immediately.

Oh, my Goodness.... Bless your heart, sweetheart. I am so glad, that things went wonderfully for you. You're a walking, miracle. Praise The lord, for your miracle!😀

Truth... My brother suffered for 12 plus hours before going to the hospital, he was in such denial, despite me the nurse telling him he likely had an appy!

I love all your Stitch stuff. Hope you feel better soon! Those 3 things you had to do... I had to that after a surgery and had them done within like 10 minutes of waking up. So, instead of letting me go home, they gave me a pill that knocked me out for another 4 or 5 hours...

You must have some bad ass insurance, that room was nice! I just had my appendix out a couple weeks ago and let me tell you, I've NEVER been in as much pain as I was that first night before I went to the ER. I've had open heart surgery and it hurt less!

when the pain stops after it starts-this typically means it has burst. When it stops hurting and you feel “relief”-is actually a very bad thing

Well that was a breeze for you, compared to my story. I was in Mexico without insurance, not a good place to end up as a westerner with that. I started vomiting from 11Am till 5pm, I had nobody who could come to me and the pain started half way through that day. A friend finally came to me and we went to several hospitals, none were equipped to take care of it. It took till 4am at night to find a hospital, then they dumped me on the floor in the hall of said hospital for 8 hours while there were plenty of beds, they did not care one bit, I had to wait my turn... I went into operation at 2PM, by that time I lost consciousness, so it took 28 hours to get operated from the moment it started. ..I woke up with my appendix in front of me in a cup , the size of a golfball with smaller balls attached to it, they treated me worse then a stray dog, they had taken my blanket and they bullied me non stop, they left me laying in my fluids, no help , nothing, I have been deprived of food and water for three days by those barbaric people, I wanted to kill myself as i went completely delirious, no joke! I had to make my own bed and clean the fluids of the floor next to it so I would not slip as the cleaning lady skipped my bed just for being a foreigner (they think we are all rich), So I did it myself with my sheets and threw it at them (this was only hours post operation, I was furious, I had no time to sleep or recover, it was so cold in there I shivered through those three days, they purposfully put the IV wrong so it would fall out and scream at me for pulling it out, which I did not ...I had so much fluid running out which I had to hold with toilet paper as they refused to clean the wound with a proper plaster bag for fluids. My appendix did not burst but i did get sepsis after that. Now I know why the Mexican patients all have a family member next to their bed 24/7 When I tried to file a complaint , it turned out to be the same woman who took my blanket (which my friend left for me when going into the hospital). She lived far away from there so she could not visitor stay as she was exhausted and had animals to take care of including my two rescue cats. They literally kicked me out of the hospital after 3 days without any papers, accept for the cup with my appendix in it, and fluid was still running out of the wound when they did (cups full of it), which I held together with whatever I could find. Someone from the village where I lived at the time picked me up and brought me home and there the western expats all came to my rescue (better late than never) and cared for me for weeks after that. It is a miracle I survived it. The village doctor took care of the sepsis, I had such a high fever it was insane. I couldn't eat properly for weeks after that and returned back to Europe as soon I could. It's been a year this month. I am still in the process of gaining weight after that trauma, I lost about 30 pounds. I had severe PTSD after that and had to give up my rescue cats even if I brought them to Europe with me. I was psycologically such a mess, I needed to work on my health, I found them a home 6 weeks ago and have been on the mend since...gaining weight now slowly and calmed down a lot. The giant scar is ugly and there is a second scar, till this day i have no report on what they did during that operation. I will never forget that experience for the rest of my life

They should have removed your appendix immediately with no waiting around

So sorry you had to deal with all of that ☹ I've been dealing with chronic appendicitis since 2012 ☹I'm currently dealing with it flaring up again and it is showing more signs then it has in the past, but not enough for them to take it out yet 😭

In US in the military. Was having stomach pains, no appetite. Going to on base Sick Call. Told it was gas. Then indigestion. Then heartburn. As an instructor I fainted giving students instructions. Taken by ambulance to military base emergency room. An older officer medical Dr. hit my right boot with his fist. Diagnosis "hot appendicitis." Getting cut out of my military fatigues straight to surgery. Diagnosis, "perforated appendix." Open surgery, spent 5 days in hospital on antibiotics. I asked if I could be discharged from hospital, as my birthday was in 2 days, and I didn't want to be in hospital on my birthday. Surgical Dr. said. "If you can stand upright and walk down hall and back, I'll discharge you." I grit my teeth, stood upright, and did it. I got released. The next morning woke up, bed covered in blood. Called my neighbor, fellow military friend of mine to go to military ER. Internal stitches had failed. Had to have external clamps removed and restitched internally. NO anesthesia or pain medicines. A roll of gauze in mouth to bite on. This is a true story.

Your video was so helpful for me. I thought my appendix burst and went to the hospital. I likely didn't though.

My mom had her's out when she was 21. She didn't have the classic symptoms. She had generalized pain in her abdomen plus she felt sick. She went to the doctor several times and they finally told her it was all in her head. Not long after it ruptured, she passed out and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. This didn't happen to her in the US, but in the Netherlands, before she immigrated to the US.

I just got my appendix removed today after just 1 and 1/2 day. So blessed it didn’t burst🙏

I just had my appendix moved may 13,2024 . I had went to work that day thought i was just having cramps did not think anything of it . Around 11 or so my back and stomach was hurting . Came home thought i had to go to the bathroom . Told my mom i was not feeling well i was gonna take tylenol. And then got bad pain my mom came out of her room i was in my living floor crying she she said you are going to the hospital . Went to the local hospital it was not gonna be a four wait . so we left got my son from school and went to urgent care they did a CT scan come back and said we are shipping you to a bigger hospital you have to have ememergy surgery. And i was alone and scared by my self stayed there for a couple days. Then came home and had to go back to the hospital because i had allergic reaction from the meds but we finally got it taking care of i am feeling a lot better . SO MINE WAS PAIN IN STOMACH AND LOWER RIGHT SIDE BACK....

About four years ago, I had appendicitis and my left far left abdomen started feeling like a sharp pain for hours upon hours and then I finally decided to go to the hospital and I figured out that appendicitis and then I had to get surgery

I recently got my appendix removed. on 4th of July, I got off work and had some Wendy’s an hour later, I had bad cramps in my abdomen all over. I thought at first maybe I was bloated from eating too fast. I went in to the hospital because the pain was so bad. it hurt to the point where even if I moved or not it still hurt. I went to the hospital. they did some blood tests and gave me a urine sample. then I got a CT scan and they said my appendix was inflamed and I needed surgery. I feel better now since it’s been removed. I was able to go home on the same day I had surgery. I’m still in pain from the surgery, but I’m slowly getting better.

That's the nicest recovery room I've ever seen

I had this 1 year ago. I was only 9 when I felt the worst pain in my life😢.

I’m so sorry this happened - I had a similar situation when I had an appendicitis. It was the day before going to sleep away camp so that god it didn’t die out in the middle of the woods 😅I definetly felt like something was wrong because I was just struggling to walk around. So I went to the ER and I waited 3 hours for scanning and at 12 at night they told me I had to immediately go to this specialist doctor an hour away to go into emergency surgery. I was terrified but it was all worth it in the end when the appendix was taken out (because now there wouldn’t be any panic). The moral of the story is this stuff sucks.

I had surgery 3 days ago. I still have some pain in my tummy?area og I have a difficult to stand up straight. They called it non-problematic removal, but also there were some leaks from the appendix. Started having pain 2am and I didnt sleep, went to doctor 11am and then to the hospital. I got it removed at 8pm

Thanks for sharing this. Glad you're doing ok now. Just got home from having mine out in the UK. I too decided it would be a great idea to take a really hot bath at 1am - called emergency services whilst I was in it though when pain got too much so not as relaxing as planned. The guy on the phone suggested I get out. 😂

I don’t know if I have an appendix but my lower right part of the stomach is hurting

I had my appendix rupture and mine was nothing like what you went through. I kind of had your symptoms when I first felt pain. I felt like I had a bad stomachache. I could not get comfortable what's so ever the first night. The next day I went through the chills and hot flashes like you. At about 7:30 that night, BAM, a terrible pain to my lower right abdomen. A pain that is indescribable. I immediately told my wife to take me to the ER. Once in the ER, I had told the Nurse that the pain was really bad and that I could not breath. She checked my oxygen levels and turned to another nurse and told her " Call triage now" They wheeled me to the back. They immediately starting drawing blood. Nurse comes back and said I had developed Sepsis, which at the time I did not know what that was. An EKG was also performed on me, an ultrasound and a CT scan. By this time Dr. gave me morphine for the pain. Not 10 min. after CT scan was done, Dr comes in and tells me with a panicked voice, " we have to go to the OR now!" They did laparoscopy surgery on me to remove my appendix. Dr. said that I had made it just in time. He said I had a really bad infection and a lot of pus inside. I ended up in the hospital for 7 days with tons of medication pumped into me. Long story short, I was basically on my death bed with two bad things, Sepsis and a ruptured appendix. I'm just glad that I'm still here to tell my story! I hope you're doing well yourself.

I just had mine ruptured and emergency removed 2 days after yours but this year LOL I was freaking out cause I became septic… TWICE. 1st doc missed it

Apandisin alınmasının ileriki yasama olumsuz bir etkisi var mı diye bilgisi olan var mı?Doktor görüşü aldınız mı,bana yazabilir misiniz

Glad you’re feeling better

This also happend to my like a week ago but it didn’t explode it was about to and they got me into surgery in like 5 hours

Thanks so much for posting this! Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Just yesterday i was hanging with my friends ang got a sudden stomach ache, i just shrugged it off because i thought it wasn't anything serious. The same day at night time, as i was about to stand up i suddenly felt pain in my lower right abdomen, so, i did a bit of research on youtube about the sudden pain and found out i had similar symptoms of appendicitis like constipation, nausea, lack of appetite, getting cold at night, and lastly pain in my lower right abdomen. The next day(today) the pain on my lower right abdomen disappeared and i finally had appetite to have lunch after skipping dinner last night and today's breakfast. Some time later i felt pain in my stomach again but this time it's on the left side of my stomach near my belly button, it did only last for a few minutes. Right now i feel a litte sore on the lower right side, i think? I just wanted to hear your thoughts and opinion on this. I am kind of scared to tell my parents about this. I am 14 years old by the way, and, english is not my first language so my grammar may seem off.

This same thing happened to me when I was 6. It suck but the first time I went to the er then could not find they this Monday I felt way better That Thursday is when i got the surgery I had to stay there for 5 days then could go to school for a week

I had my removed 1/28/24 . Removed immediately in the US . Still recovering.

Mine burst starting of Jan. Had a drain put in the abscess and strong antibiotics. Healed up and drain removed. Follow up in 8 weeks. Two scans showed no appendix so it may have obliterated.

There’s no example of stubborn nature here. ;-) Glad the took care of you so well.

How are you waiting for mths before they remove it?! I just had mine removed 2 weeks ago & it is understood to be an urgent & immediate procedure! So sorry that you had to continue the torture for so long.

Since I have really bad period pains I thought my appendicitis was cramps lmfaooo till my mother dragged my ass to the hospital since I haven't ate for days.

Sounds like me after a bad night out drinking with the boys and taco bell... it was just gas....

A day after the6 operated on me my appendix ruptured during operation almost 2 years pain here and there will book an appointment and get mri

Yeah, I went to the hospital within like six hours of the pain so I never experienced the nausea vomiting It might’ve been right abdomen which way you look at it

Omg are you okay? I hope you feel better holy cow thats scary.

Mine felt like someone was shooting me.

I think I have appendicitis cuz I keep feeling after throw up my mom gives me some medicine when I feel like I'm going to throw up I don't know because I don't like when I feel like because you're like oh and my stomach keep hurting and hurting but I don't think exploded and it hurts make a lot a lot

i'm going through a similar experience finished antibiotics today. did you have an abcess infection? Thank you for sharing too!

Yeah, I went to the hospital within like six hours of the pain so I never experienced the nausea vomiting

What’s the main cause of that appendix thing? Good thing your ok

I had a bad crazy story too with my appendix. I went to a bus stop and waiting there for 20 min.. Left and that God I did.. There was a drive buy we at bus stop. Meanwhile. I'm in host it'll doc.took care of me.

So I pretty much felt the same as you

I have a lot of symptoms of appendicitis but my mom thinks it's gas so I'm confused and the lower right of my abdomen hurts

So I went to the hospital on July 5. I went to the hospital because I woke up from my sleep in a lot of pain and it was like 7 o’clock in the morning and it was in so much pain. It woke me up from my sleep and I got side to my mom and I was talking to her and she was like do you feel like you needed to go to the hospital? Is it that bad and I was like yeah I really don’t feel good. I don’t think I can do it so we go to the clinic first they check me out and they’re saying that I need to go to the ER so I go to the ER and they admin to the hospital so we go to the hospital. I’m there for about five hours and they do CAT scans and everything and they said I had appendicitis and it was like turning into bone and so I got admitted to Riley children’s Hospital and I got out around two in the morning and I can say it’s not as bad as you would think it would be, but I can say it hurt a lot and I can say don’t eat after it because I haven’t had anything to eat or drink that day and then I got a popsicle and 7-Up right after and that’s what I kind of just threw up because I guess I eat it too fast or just settle yet and I went home they had to make sure I could use the bathroom first and then I went home. I can say I just slept on the couch cause that was the most comfortable way because I tried sleeping in my bed. It did not work that well and that’s my story. It’s not as fun.

Get a cough pillow made . I was made one after my op. Look it up

What?! They made you wait?!

But I went to the hospital before I started getting nauseous or vomiting luckily

I was in religion and then I went home because my tummy hurt then my mum said we're going to the hospital you have ipendisitice then my surgery got delayed

My stomach was hurting real bad today i thought it was appendicitis but i was just having gas 😂😂😂i fell on the floor from laughing still laughing right now 🤣😅 Glad ur okay now❤❤❤

They removed my appendix at the same exact day I got to the emergency room

Hope you’re doing well now.

hey did you notice any digestive symptoms leading up to the appendicitis?

Just had surgery last night

I was left in the waiting room overnight with a perforated appendix

Ade you doing alright after your Apendetis removal Surgery)

Im scared for mine to explode, think of it everyday

Howw did you notice that your Apendetis exposed?

One time when I was in school I thought I got appendicitis but then it was actually a false alarm

😂

Your video was so helpful for me. I thought my appendix burst and went to the hospital. I likely didn't though.

So I pretty much felt the same as you
