What Does Appendicitis Feel Like?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Pain Worsens With Pressure
The pain that comes with appendicitis is going to be leaving the patient in agony. It can get even worse, however, if somebody was to press on the area. This is not advised because, in addition to causing even more pain for the patient, it might end up making things even worse.
The pain can also get a lot worse for the patient if they were to cough. Walking can also be very painful so the patient should be aided where possible. Walking might potentially make the problem worse, while the patient may well be in too much pain to consider walking anyway.
