Do I need to get my appendix removed?

ok I'm starting to get a hunch that my appendix needs to be removed, but I want to be 200% before I even think about going into surgery. so what do I need to look for other than just the pain in that area?

    You don't have to be 200% sure; your doctor will do that for you. But abdominal pain is nothing to mess around with. If you think your appendix is inflamed - and you can Google for symptoms - get to a hospital pronto. You don't want your appendix to burst; the bacteria will spread throughout your abdominal cavity, which is very, very dangerous.
