I remember someone I knew at my school had an appendix removed, but he had been suffering with it for months IIRC, used to always end up having to lie down etc, didn't look very pleasant. I don't think if you suspect you have appendicitis that you need to rush to the doctor before it explodes (sounds better than bursts), although, as always, you're best to get it seen to straight away.
