My older brother had appendicitis last year, and my younger brother is doing surgery today for his appendicitis. My husband is a little concerned for me because I get a horrible sharp stabbing pain in my right side. He wants me to see a doctor; The question is should I get a check up done for appendicitis? Have you personally had it or did your siblings have it and skip you?

⭕Appendicitis affects 1 in 1,000 people living in the U.S. Most cases of appendicitis happen to people between the ages of 10 and 30 years. Having a family history of appendicitis may raise your risk, especially if you are a man.⭕
