I don't know much about the appendix, but doesn't it 'explode' or 'burst' quite a while after significant pain?
Correct. An inflamed appendix is usually removed. A "burst" appendix, means that it was inflamed to the point of ulceration. There are many, many complications that can arise from an ulcerated appendix. The most immediate is sepsis, which he can actually die from. This is no joke.
I had sepsis, it sucks. You're not moving much and especially not playing football.
