The most predominant symptom of appendicitis is abdomen pain. Rather than a sharp, instant, and gut-wrenching pain, the discomfort will start gradually with cramps or a dull aching sensation. It might start near the belly button and move rightwards and toward the appendix itself. The pain increases when the appendix starts getting inflamed and grows in size, causing irritation to the surrounding abdominal wall, called the peritoneum.
