I am not sure... but what you described is surprisingly similar to what I have been feeling since August. It started when I was in Asia, so naturally I thought parasites could be likely. They did blood and urine test when I was in Indonesia to rule out appendicitis, and kidney stones. If you get a fever with this pain i would go to the Emergency Room.

But yeah my pain started right where my appendix is, sort of radiated up that side, and the pain changes from one kind of a pain to another. I do feel it more when I drive, i assume just the position of the chair. And most recently it feels more like a side cramp like a stitch. For the most part my pain is going away, but its gone away before and come back.

Do you by any chance have any other symptoms? I had some really loud stomach noises for weeks, just constant never ending gurgling, but that only started after I had about 5 days of some of the worst diarrhea.

when I got back to the states, i saw a doctor i had a colonoscopy and EGD, they found nothing with the lower scope but the upper they determined i had inflamation in my esophagus due to acid reflux, and the doctor said the stomach acid could be bothering me and creating this pain, however she did not offer any explination HOW this could be, so I am still on the search for answers.
