I would take her back to the ER and ask them exactly how they are ruling out appendicits. But her pain started out too high for the appendix, and it is blood test that normally rule this out. Is she having any trouble with her right leg? This also accompanies appendicitis. Have they checked her ovaries? Are her bowel ovements normal?
Thanks for the feedback. I did take her to the ER twice as the pain persisted - even though all tests were negative for everything - including appendicitis. We have figured out what is going on. My daughter's body is not aligned. Her right hip is 1/2 inch higher than her left. This is causing her ligament to be stretched unnaturally, 24/7. It caused her extreme pain around 4 in the morning a few times (hence the trips to the ER) b/c she sleeps in a fetal position - causing the ligament to be stretched in the same position with no relief for 5 or 6 hrs. Ouch. She started phys therapy - the pain is lessening as she is doing exercises between sessions to get the hips aligned again. This sort of thing is caused by stress. No one in the medical field even thought of this....ligaments don't show up on their tests.....it's sometimes good to think outside the box....
