Feeling Sensation In Appendix Area Posted: 07-10-07 08:05am
Hi. I'm new to the group and hopefully
someone can answer my question.
I've had a feeling sensation in my
appendix area (lower right pelvic/tummy
region) since late 2003. It's not
appendicitis according to 2 doctors I've
been to, because it's not painful. I just
have a feeling sensation where there
shouldn't be -- it's hard to explain. CT
scan turned out nothing. It's on and off
for months at a time. There's no lump or
anything, both doctors pressed hard and
deep with their hands and I was in no pain
(other than someone pressing a fist in
your tummy). The first doctor said it
might be air trapped inside but that was
in early 2004, over 3 years ago.
I'm just curious and wondering if I should
keep seeing more doctors until one has an
idea. I'm 45 years old. Thanks!

without more information about this
sensation.

Is there any connection between the
appendix and the right testicle? I
remember having this same sensation 10
years ago for which I went for a checkup
and nothing wrong was found. I remember
then I thought it was my testicle but
mentioned that I feel something also in my
appendix area.
Now I feel it constantly. "Sensitive"
might be the better description. When I
feel it, it feels like it might hurt when
bumped but when I actually do bump my
appendix area on a countertop or tabletop
just to test it doesn't hurt at all.
Sometimes, when I sit down (like right
now) my right testicle is more sensitive
than the left.
I also feel my appendix when I start
running on the treadmill everyday but
after about 10 minutes on the treadmill,
it's completely gone. Like, whatever it is
is jostled into a certain place where I
don't feel it anymore.
When I went for a checkup ten years ago my
doctor gave me antibiotics and it was
completely gone. In 2003 it came back
first on my appendix then just a few weeks
ago, also on my right testicle. It doesn't
hurt and nothing's swelling as far as I
can tell. Just sensitive.
