If you have appendicitis, you will be...
* Doubled up in pain * Vomiting * Reflexively contract your abdominal muscles when touched ("guarding"). * Exhibit rebound tenderness. (If you push firmly down on the affected area and quickly release, indicates an inflammation.)

Two quick tests that suggest a problem that needs surgical evaluation are hopping on one foot; if that makes your abdominal pain worse, you need the emergency room. Another is trying to lift your right leg against resistance (e.g. put it under your couch and try to life the couch with your foot.) If that makes abdominal pain worse, go to the ER. But you can have appendicitis without having pain from either of these maneuvers.
