Hopefully the PA has worked in general surgery and has scrubbed on several appy's, has a good grasp of anatomy, and knows how to operate and work the anesthesia at the same time. I won't even mention having sterile instruments and antibiotics...\n\nNever met an NP who has scrubbed in the OR. However I've met several PA's who often scrub.

Do you have a family doctor?  If so, call him or her.  If not, take her to the emergency room or a walk-in clinic.

13 I had just had my appendix removed and was in recovery all alone. When I came to there was a man on top of me doing his business. A nurse came in and shoved him off of me. she took me to the restroom and washed my blood away and told me to pee. I kept telling her it hurt me, she said they didn't operate you down ther it shouldn't hurt and placed me back into the bed and put a kotex on me. I had not even had my first period yet.\nShe later came and removed the kotex and washed me down there. I don't think she was supposed to leave me there alone.\nTRUE STORY

I know lots of Doctors (IM a nurse), they have doctors to care for them...they arent allowed to prescribe meds for themselves, anyway, so would need another doctor.

simple test for appendicitis is the rebound test.  \nGet someone to locate the spot midway between your belly button and the boney prominance sticking out on the front of your pelvis (anterior superior iliac spine).  Press into the tissue and then release the pressure.  If you experience great pain upon releasing the pressure, then it is probably appendicitis.  In this case you better go to the hospital or you may die.\n\nIf this proves not to be appendicites then it could be that your diaphram is spasming.  If you know how to do deep diaphramatic breathing then I would suggest you do this exercise until the pain is alleviated.  Try 4-6 times and avoid hyperventilation.\n\nPS.  gall bladder pain radiates to just between the shoulder blades, moreso on the right side, not the left.  If you do not have this referral pattern, then it is not gallbladder

if you call the local hospital's emergency room there is a nurse on staff that should be able to answer your question correctly and quickly

They probably ARE listening to you. They are just not agreeing with you. They could not have removed your appendix without your express written approval. And they have it. If they didn't, they would be "listening" the way you want them to. That is why it is of immense importance to READ EVERYTHING before you sign it.\nYou will most likely recover no money nor  a bill reduction. Sorry.\n\nBTW...the ovaries and the appendix are not really THAT close to each other (I have had my appendix removed, so I know where the scar is.) In general, it would not be easy for him to just casually remove the appendix while "cleaning up" the cyst surgery. They are probably taking that into consideration, too.\nI wish you well.

Not enough info to make a definitive diagnosis, and you'd need to be examined anyway. I know, this doesn't answer your question. Make an apointment. If you are in severe discomfort go to the emergency dept. or urgent care. When you see your primary doctor tell  him your concerns.

Take her to the emergency room - and sit there with her and hold her hand.  This is above your head, but she needs nourishment and professional help. NOW.

My tummy ache moved from all over to just the right side, sensitive to the touch.  Get to a doctor or it could burst, I witnessed the aftermath of this and it was not pretty.  The poor kid was out of commission for 3 or so months!  The doctors will be a bit intrusive, as the only way to feel the appendix besides surgery is through your bum hole.  It is much better than having it burst, though.

You CANNOT wait around for them to contact you.  \nContact your doctor's answering service right NOW and inform them you will be in office the minute they open, appointment or no appointment.  If the pain is too much to handle then it's time for you to go to the Emergency Room.  If you have any problems when you get there, lie down on the floor in front of the receptionist and start screeching loudly about the pain.  You WILL be assisted.
