Where does appendix pain begin?

I woke up with some weird pain in my stomach area, not sure what it is. My mother mentioned appendix, and I'm a little worried. Where does appendix pain usually begin?

Oh, appendix pain usually begins near the navel, or belly button, and then slowly moves to the lower right side of the abdomen. It often gets worse and feels sharper. Don't take it lightly, beti, show it to a doctor immediately.

Appendix pain typically starts around the belly button area, as a dull ache, and then migrates to the lower right abdomen. It then becomes sharper and more localized. If you suspect it, don't wait, get to an emergency room.

Appendix pain classically begins as a dull pain around the navel (belly button), which then shifts to the lower right side of the abdomen. It usually worsens over 12-24 hours and becomes quite sharp. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever. If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

From what I've seen, appendix pain often starts as a vague discomfort near the navel, almost like general stomach ache. But within hours, it moves to the lower right side of the abdomen and gets much more intense. If you feel this, you need to go to a doctor, no home remedies will work.
