I’ve been having some discomfort/mild pain in my lower right abdomen for about nine days now. A few days ago I went to see my doctor and she didn’t think it was appendicitis because it wasn’t severe pain, I didn’t seem to have rebound pain, etc. She sent me for blood work (came back normal) and an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound. The pelvic ultrasound showed what looked like some fluid, possibly from a ruptured ovarian cyst. The abdominal ultrasound came back OK, though they were unable to see my appendix.

I’m not getting worse, but I’m not getting better either … I’m not in severe pain, vomiting, etc. so I feel like it would be silly to go to the ER. The doctor just said to wait to see if it gets better on its own and if not, call back on Monday (and obviously go to ER if it gets worse).

Is it possible to have appendicitis for more than a week and still not have really severe symptoms? Or does this sound pretty normal for a ruptured cyst on my right ovary? I don’t want to overreact but I don’t want to ignore it either.
