I spent 13 wedding anniverary in hospital getting appendix out. It started with hearburn type pain... I drank Gaviscon all night to no avail. Then I had the shites in the early hours. Then stuck with endless heartburn all the next day. Couldnt eat or drink.
Gave in and went to A&E at 4pm. By then I felt a bit of a fraud because the heartburn had eased. When the doctor put pressure on my right side i lept off the bed with pain.
That pain was just above my right hip bone, but across toward the middle just a bit. The scar is under the waistband of my hipster jeans IYSWIM
