Hi, i'm a 16 year old male, for the last 4 weeks ive had a fever and a pain around my appendix, The pain isn't realy painful, but it bothers me, it's not constant, i could have it for about 0 - 60 mins a day, but yesterday i was sitting on my chair watching movies, then suddenly the area around my appendix started to hurt ( very painfully ) and i couldn't yawn or cough or breath or move without it hurting, this went on for 4 hours stright :S then it finaly went away, please help me :-D
Will i need an operation on my appendix?
