I recently had an appendectomy. The doctors said that if you are having abdomen problems, you absolutely should go to the ER as there's too high a chance it's life threatening. They said that limbs and such weren't as ER-necessary and urgent care might suffice, depending on severity. But for the stomach, just go to the ER.
I initially stopped at an urgent care facility, but they told me to sit and wait before even asking my symptoms. I'm not afraid of many medical things, but my appendix has always made me extra nervous. So we left and went to the ER, where they asked a few questions and rushed me into a room, and then a scan shortly after. We had caught it very early.
