[|Human|] Hi, Im a healthy 51 year old mail who is quite active and Im wondering where the appendix is? Ive been experiencing a pressure in my lower right abdomen for the past couple of days. There doesnt seem to be any pain associated with it, bit I cant get rid of or pass it. On this past Friday I made a huge lasagna and ate quite a bit of it, so Ive been thinking that it may be a gas bubble or some type of blockage from all of the cheese. My concern is that the pressure is not moving from the area and its along the inside of the hip.
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. Great question. The appendix in the right lower abdomen to the right and lower area of the umbilicus, that is where you have got pain. The other reason for a fixed pain at this area can be nephritis meaning inflammation of the colon or due to a stone in the right ureter at this level. The simplest way to get a correct diagnosis is :A physical examination by a General Surgeon and get an ultrasonography to start with and confirm by CT scan is required. If the appendicitis is present - get operated.
