Anyone here had it? Mine ruptured on friday and i had it out sunday. The flippin pain is unreal at the moment 

Had it taken out as a kid before it ruptured. Was in hospital for 3 days because I had a bad reaction to some medicine they gave me.
Did you not feel the pain beforehand? You usually have about 48 hours before it ruptures.
Mine ruptured whilst on holiday in South Africa, 45 minutes from the nearest hospital.
Almost died, and a £6000 bill later meant I have never been so happy to have had travel insurance!

What's the point of an Appendix anyway, in fact after I typed that I had a Google and still don't have the foggiest. Appendicitis sounds horrid anyway, the most pain I experienced was kidney stones, doubled up in agony until I passed them.
Slightly off topic, had a hernia op yesterday and in a bit of pain today, two weeks off work though so every cloud and all that.
