Is this a sign of appendicitis?

My lower right ab has been sore for like 5 days and my lower right back(not my kidney lower than that) I went to the doctor and he said dont worry its not appendicitis. But i never had a ct scan he said there is no point. But now its been 3 more days in its still sore. When i do the rebound test i push on my right side and it hurts a little lets say scale of 1-10 10 being worst its a 3. Then i release abruptly and its like a 1 1/2 pain in a pinpoint location barely hurts at all just annoying. when i push extra hard on my left ab i can feel a tiny bit of pain on my right ab and when i release it i can feel a little pain also like a 2 of out 10 on my right side. It hurts more when i do the rebound test standing up but only a little bit more. I am a hypochondriac been to the doctor for my lungs heart and brain in the past 2 months now this. I have no nausea i am still hungry and no fever. It only hurts a 1 out of ten if i am just going on doing normal stuff without pressure on it. Also i can jump on my right leg and land on my heel and it does not hurt. Could my appendix already ruptured or is it in the process? Or mabey it just sore b/c i am always trying the rebound test to assure myself i have nothing

  1. YES. Go to the doctor. Now.
  2. okay your appendix has not ruptured mine did and i have a high pain threshold i was in tears, it was most definately 10 out of 10 i couldnt let go of my side and had been violently vomiting for the past day before it ruptured, i was still vomiting with nothing at all in me, i had no appetite and my fever was extremely high the days before that i had alot of pain in my side and was only comfortable curled up, i am not ruling appendicitis out because i am no doctor, but from personal experience i doubt you have it. you may have a grumbling appendix but i think that would have more pain if you dont trust your doctor get a 2nd opinion, but they have been through many years of medical school so are more than likely correct i hope the pain goes away
