Where does appendix pain happen?

My friend is complaining of a sharp pain in her lower right abdomen and she's worried about appendicitis. Can someone tell me where appendix pain happens, so I can see if her symptoms match?

My son had appendix pain a few months ago, it started near his navel then slowly shifted to the lower right side of his tummy. He also had fever and vomitting. Pls get it checked by a doc if you or anyone you know has these symptoms.

Achha, appendix pain? I hope you're not trying to find a new ache for me, I already have enough! But seriously, usually it's in the lower right abdomen, like a sharp pain. Sometimes starts around the belly button. Go see a doc if it's bothering you, don't play doctor with yourself!

From what I understand, appendix pain is typically on the lower right side of your stomach. It can be quite sharp. I always say, for any concerning pain, it's best to consult a doctor immediately. Don't wait, especially if it's severe or accompanied by other symptoms.

I've heard it's usually around the belly button area first and then moves to the lower right abdomen. But honestly, any strong abdominal pain should be checked by a doctor. Don't self-diagnose, especially with something potentially serious like appendix issues. Please get it checked!

Oh, appendix pain can be really scary to think about. I totally get why you'd be asking this. From what I remember, it often starts as a dull pain near the navel and then shifts to a more intense, specific pain in the lower right abdomen. If you're feeling anything like that, please see a doctor right away!
