Appendix... HELP!
OK, I've been worried sick since about 4 days ago.
It all started when i had a muscle spasm beside my belly button (right side), it lasted a whole day. I woke up the next day with a dull pain in the same spot, nothing really painful, just enough to worry me. Now, my lower front (right side), my right side and back on the right side has been aching. I've goggled way too much & I seem to think I have appendicitis, but It's not tender to the touch, and my pain is no where near as people describe appendicitis pain, and it comes and goes, it isn't a constant pain, also I've been a little nauseous, but I always get nauseous after eating certain things, I do have acid reflux, I've always had it, but other than that, no diarrhea, no vomiting, etc. What could this be? I'm scared my appendix is going to rupture & I don't know it & die!! Will I know if it ruptures? Or if I have appendicitis?!?!

You may have something that is called a "grumbling appendix" or a bowel problem or inflammation of the glands - mesenteric adenitis. Or even a urinary infection in the bladder.
If you are concerned, I would suggest you see your doctor to check you out, take a sample of your morning urine and discuss your concerns with your doctor.
If you do experience vomiting, a fever, extreme pain, diarrhea with pain, then seek immediate medical attention. You do not have to have all the symptoms.
Best wishes.

My motto is: never ignore lower right abdominal pain. Get to the doctor or ER. I'm thinking ER would be best as a doctor can't really do much in his office; you'd end up in emergency surgery anyway if it was determined to be appendicitis. The tests that would determine that would put you in the ER anyway for speed. It could be a cyst, too.
If you have a temperature, I'd be rushing.
