Ive been having severe stomach cramps pretty much nonstop ever since I had my late dinner Thursday night. Tried to power thru work yesterday but the pain was just too much.

Initially thought it was food poisoning but the fact that its been going on for nearly 48 hours, I havent really passed gas/taken a dump (but have vomited a lot especially yesterday), and most of my pain occurs during transitional movements in my lower right abs makes me think its appendicitis and will have to go to the hospital tomorrow for treatment options.

Anyone ever dealt with this?

Don't mess about with appendicitis -- a burst appendix can cause peritonitis, which is a serious infection of the inner lining of the abdomen.

Seriously, I wouldn't wait. Just see a doctor ASAP. Do you have a teledoc? If you want a doctor's advice you can call a teledoc before going.

I had it about 5 years ago, I strongly recommend taking laxatives for the first few days after surgery. You try to strain whatsoever and you're going to be in for a bad time

Go see a doctor soon. I had mines removes due to vomiting and ended up ruptured with my sides hurting. Your going to be in a hospital for a whole week and your going to feel like an old person having to walk slowly til the pain goes away in the first few days after surgery.

Not really a good time

I had it last year. I was supposed to go on a business trip that morning but the pain was unbearable so I went to the emergency room. Had laparoscopic surgery to have it removed, the recovery was not bad at all. Is that what you had?

For sure. I just took some extra strength Tylenol instead of the morphine they prescribed me. Each day you should feel a bit better.

Yep I had it back in 2012. Was basically a constant pain for about 2 days before I went to the emergency room.

Laparoscopic surgery is amazing, I was back home less than a day after surgery. Recovery wasn't too bad, any pain was easily handled by ibuprofen

Laxatives, stool softeners. Drink a lot of water. Stay active and moving. Best ways to fight constipation.

If it's safe for you specifically, magnesium citrate can help with constipation if it's not a regular thing for you.

That stuff works. I had to drink a bunch before a colonoscopy once.
