How bad is appendicitis pain?

I've had a strange pain in my lower right abdomen since last night, and someone mentioned it could be appendicitis. I'm trying to figure out if the pain matches what people experience with it. How intense does appendicitis pain usually get, and where exactly does it occur?

The pain is very intense and typically gets worse when you move or cough. Please don't try to manage it at home and see a doctor as soon as possible.

Appendicitis pain is extremely sharp and usually starts around the belly button before shifting to the lower right side. It is a serious emergency, so stop any workouts or heavy lifting immediately and get to a hospital.

Please do not use hot water bags or take any digestive churnas for severe lower right stomach pain. It could be appendicitis, and applying heat can actually cause it to burst. Seek immediate medical help.

Oh, it is a very sharp, unbearable pain on the lower right side of the stomach, often with vomiting. My roommate had it last month and we had to rush her to emergency. If you feel this, please go to a clinic immediately.

Appendicitis is not something you can put off until the weekend. The pain increases rapidly within hours and requires immediate surgical attention. Go straight to a hospital emergency room right now.

Oh God, severe stomach pain always makes me so anxious! Appendicitis pain is really serious and can be life-threatening if it ruptures. Please go get an ultrasound done immediately for peace of mind.

Any acute, localized pain in the lower right abdomen accompanied by fever should be treated as appendicitis until proven otherwise. Go to the nearest emergency hospital immediately for a proper checkup.

It hurts so bad that you won't even be able to lie down or sleep for a minute. If you are clutching your lower right belly and crying, trust me, it is not just bad gas. Get it checked before it bursts!

Do not ignore any sudden, severe pain in the right side of your stomach. In our town, a young boy delayed going to the hospital and it became very dangerous. Please visit a good doctor immediately.

This is a surgical emergency and not something you can walk off. Avoid any physical movement or exercise and go directly to a doctor. You can think about walking and recovery exercises only after the surgery is done.
