Yes it could be appendicitis. But sharp pain is more likely to be kidney stone. I would not let the pain go more than 8 hrs before being evaluated by an emergency doctor.

I had bowel blockage and bowel perforation and was in hospital for 5 days til they diagnosed it but by then i had sepsis and septic shock and i now have a colostomy.. how could i have been in hospital 5 days before they diagnosed me? they only figured it out when i vomited faeces.. i am trying to understand how the hospital missed the perf. thanks in advance for your reply.
