Belly Pain

kelshar — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 05:59:06 GMT

Every so often, I get this weird sensation where it feels like someone has taken a string & is pulling the back of my belly button. Has anyone experienced that? or knows the cause?

It doesn't really hurt but it's just a strange feeling.

Google abdominal pain and see what you come up with.

Gas? I've heard you can experience gas in the shoulder. Sounds strange - but who knows?

Could be an umbilical or ventral hernia. Is the sensation more noticeable when straining? Do you ever notice a bulge in the area?

Don't know about everyday gas but I do know that the gas they use for laparoscopic surgery will travel into the shoulders; and hurt!

Have you ever had surgery around there? It could be adhesions....

Is "belly" a regional term? The reason I ask is that I've never seen it used unless the word "button" came right after it. Usually, it's stomach, abdomen ... or even tummy.

Bugonbike - No, I don't feel it when straining and there's no bulge or anything. It's very random and sporadic.

Nataliesgramma: Nope, I've never had surgery in that area. It could be something as simple as gas.

Please let me mention this: not to scare you, but my own mother's ovarian cancer was not predicted as a cause of her belly pains. This is a cancer not easily detected. It did come and go as far as I know. If she suspected it, she kept that to herself, as though mentioning it would make it real. She was of the generation that you went to the doctor and they told you what was wrong. Her doctor at the time, NO IDEA!! So anyway, don't let it go, go get it checked out!! Before it's too late. @kelshar

Thanks for sharing this ..... sometimes people need a nudge, and unexplained things need to be checked out.

I had that sensation years ago. Like someone was pulling. It has since gone away. I did mention it to my doctor at the time and after sono and exam, nothing was found wrong. I am not sure when it stopped because when I knew all was ok, I forgot about it.

If it persists, please do go have it checked like I did. I'm sorry to say, but a shopping message board really is not a good place to ask for medical advice. But I was more than happy to share my experience with you. Good luck.

I actually did have my annual check up few short months ago - pap smear, had my ovaries checked, the whole female exam, etc. Everything was normal.

I'll definitely check with my doctor about the bellybutton pain.

When I was in 2nd grade a classmate told our teacher, a nun, he had a belly ache. She said there was no such thing rather he had a stomach ache. He repeated he had a belly ache and could he go to nurse. She said he had to have a real medical condition. He opened his mouth as though he was going to ask again. He threw up all over Sister.
