I get those pains all the time. I have to call my mom and ask her if I’m going to die or if Its cool and I can just lay on the heating pad and watch cops.
Kinda hurt? Appendix hurt is not kinda hurt. Appendix hurt is a no escape hellhole of I hope to god I’m dying so this’ll stop hurt… I think your appendix might be fine. And it’s on the right, with most people.
Anyway, get well soon. I can’t go too long without Bug comics.
Could be gall bladder or gall stones ….hurt?….you have no idea. Or maybe you do. Appendix doesn’t quit hurting. Gall bladder quits suddenly. (for a time)
The surgeon cut my GB out and ripped out the appendix whilst he was in there mucking aboot. (sic)
These days they cut a tiny hole. “Back in the day” well let’s just say it looks like I lost a knife fight,
I had mine out just 3 weeks ago. It’s on the right, but in the laproscopic procedure they take it out from the left so you will end up hurting there anyway.
Cruciferous vegetables? Dang – I had to look that up.
Still don’t know about how they could cause any pain outside of a bad case of WMD due to under-cooking unpleasantness.
N0083rP00F — you are lucky. When you have bad gas, but it is not making it to your butthole in order to fart, it ends up filling up your intestines like a balloon, and ohboydoesthathurt.
That’s actually three tiny holes, and one is through your belly button, of all things. Ditto on having it out, two years ago. Hurting does not stop either. Gall bladder on the other hand, that was hours laying in bed curled up in a ball. And Jay, how the hell did they take them both out at the same time? You must be shorter waisted than I am, and that’s an inch between my bottom rib and top of my pelvis. Of course, I had that out twenty some years ago and have the scar to prove it. I keep losing bits and pieces over the years, not too good. How ’bout you just call it a sick day and don’t worry about specifics, Adam?
Know what hurts even more? Kidney stones! It’s the kind of hurt where you pass out while trying to take a leak! In the last 15 months, I’ve passed 4 the size of cherry pits (and yes, by “pass” I mean peed them out), and they went in through my back & took out 5, count ’em, FIVE the size of golf balls!
After 5 children , my sister said she rather have 5 more than another kidney stone …
Appendix pain starts at your belly button-ish and moves to the right. When mine got inflamed, I could distinctly tell this was something internal, not just general muscular pain. But that’s just me. *shrugs* Appendix pain is awful and unique. One test you can do is lie down and put pressure on the spot where the pain is. If there’s a spike of pain when you abruptly remove the pressure, that’s probably your appendix.
I have no interest in seeing another man’s parts, BUT, Jeff, if you had passed one of those golf ball sized ones, I would have wanted to take a gander at the remains. Scientific reasons and all that. Well, just to see how big a hole can get. Morbid curiosity. I’m assuming that I would be looking at your corpse. heh heh
And Jeff, I agree with your sister! I would rather have more kids, or even my worst migraine, than any more kidney stones. I’m tough, but even that pain gets me.
My father’s appendix exploded. He waited for three days to go to the hospital. Buckets are not necessary; apparently if you’re lucky your body makes a mucus sack around the ruptured organ. However, a will is. He survived, but the doctors are still unsure how.
I had mine out about 6 weeks ago. Didn’t even burst, but yeah, if it “kinda hurts”, that ain’t appendicitis. “Isn’t this going to kill me already?” would be more like it. (And yay for lapariscopic surgery — we’re definitely in an age of miracles.)
Hey Ruth,
A 6 to 7 inch slash from xyphoid process to just above the right hip. They could have removed my right knee-cap and I wouldn’t have noticed.
Broccoli is one of the many vegetables with more than six letters. Potatoes are spuds and therefore o.k. All others fail the test. Tomatoes are a fruit.
Dang Jay, sounds like you had the same surgeon who did my gall bladder. I think he just opened things up and poked around for fun (that’s what it felt like after). I think he still had his training wheels on then. Hubs has a ten inch down his front from quintuple bypass, that was fun.

in case for information, the appendix is on the RIGHT side. i learned that the hard way.

Constantly throwing up anything that comes within a few feet of your mouth is another good indicator.
Just don’t break out the kitchen knives before going for an ultrasound.

G’luck with it.

Then again, it could be the cruciferous vegetables.
Yeah, that was gonna be my guess too. Amazing how that can transform from a nonspecific ache to some serious sharp pains to… general unpleasantness.

Panel 3. Oh yes. Oh oh yes.

it’s on the INside….
had mine out twice.
How do you lose the same organ twice o.O

ROFL… there is so much win in this comment!
See, veggies are dangerous!

N0083rP00F, you have obviously never lived through a case of obstructive broccoli. It is really never pleasant, in or out.
I get random pains like that all the time. They’re called “old age” :/
Adam, I’m so sorry to hear (see) about your troubles.
Today’s non-strip was as funny and as well done as a strip, so you did well.
Hope everything turns out okay.

Fatty liver disease is supposed to feel like general discomfort under the right ribs, I believe.
It was on my left side. But great, now I’ll think of that whenever my right side is slightly sore.
Sorry! ?

Held off on this until we heard from Adam.
That exact same situation happened to me last week, what a coincidence. I mean, the not knowing which side the appendix is.
