[|Human|] I have a very tender abdomen with the most tenderness in the lower right quadrant, just inside my hip bone . I am 64 years old. Of course, I have no insurance and am not yet ready for Medicare . At first I thought my appendix might be causing the problem, but I have no rebound pain and can lift my right leg up without pain (clues from the internet). A friend thought it might be diverticulitis . I did have a fever of about 101 for around 18 hours, but it s gone. I just feel like someone beat me up.
[|AI|]  Hi Thanks for posting your query The signs you have mentioned as clues from internet are true for a retrocecal appendix, there are other positions of appendix where it can lie in abdomen and can have different symptoms For me diverticulitis is more concerning than appendicitis From your information I feel it is more related to appendix Under all circumstances do go for a complete blood count and an ultrasound before you stamp anything Hope this helps Am available for any followup queries there are no further doubts, do accept this reply and rate it Wishing You A Speedy Recovery
