What is this?
So, around Friday of last week (the day after Thanksgiving), I felt a sort of tightness in my abdomen, down around my right hip bone, maybe 3 or 4 inches in from it. It wasn’t really pain, just discomfort, like I had massively overeaten or something. Except that I hadn’t, I somewhat went light on the foodstuffs all weekend (and continue to do so).
Well, it bothered me a bit out drinking Friday night, and Saturday too. Sunday I mostly ignored it, but it was still there.
It’s slowly increasing in noticability, seems to mostly go away in the morning and mostly bother me as the day wears on.
I’m not sure … and I know that self-diagnosis is usually a bad idea, but I’m starting to think, from the symptoms I’m experiencing and the persistence, that maybe I have appendicitis.
I’m going to put off going to the doctor until either there’s a consistent pain or I convince myself that there’s really something wrong… but I think I’m going to set myself an ultimatum: if it’s still at the current level (or worse) on Friday, I’ll see a doctor, regardless.
