Appendicitis??????

DD has been suffering with severe abdominal pain all day. She was complaining of stomach ache last night and woke up with a pain like a stitch near her bellybutton. Then it got much worse and moved to her lower right hand side. Now she is almost doubled over in pain. What makes me think it's appendicitis is that when you press on her appendix area she gets a little relief but when you remove the pressure she screams. She's 13 so doesn't scream a lot. The only reason I'm wary is that 6 months ago she was admitted to hospital for 5 days with a suspected rupured spleen but it wasn't the spleen and they never found the cause. DD's saying the pain might even be worse and I have to say she looks worse, all pale and clammy. Then she was fine when lying down but when she stood up she was in agony last time. This is different especially with the pressure. What do you think???

Yeah turns out her stomach was hurting for a while but she didn't want to make a fuss (she's got a very high pain tolerance)
