Internal and Superficial Abdominal Pain Posted: 01-21-06 10:33am
Last night, and now this morning, I have
been having sharp pain in my abdomen. Last
night there were three very localized
points that I can press on, and when I do
press they feel bruised and sore. They
feel superficial, like they are in the
skin or top of the abs. These spots also
will produce a sharp pain at random times,
like a needle sticking in. They are
located 1. to the right and above(2inches)
my belly button,2. to the right and
below(1 inch) my belly button, and 3.
center top of my belly button but almost
feels like inside of it. when i reach up
and stretch it makes the pain worse. This
morning the whole area feels dull and
sore. Last night I was pressing around for
more spots so it could also be from that
possibly. Also I am constipated. I did not
have a fever yesterday or this morning. No
other symptoms besides the pain. is it
just constipation or something more
serious?

Constipation may be causing the pain that
you describe as cramp-like and internal. I
think that the surface painful points,
however, are more the result of anxiety
than abdominal disease. You can go to your
doctor to be sure for yourself.
