Pain In Navel And Right Side of Abdomen Posted: 05-14-07 14:31pm
I'm a healthy (for the most part, anyway)
40 year old male and for the past week, I
have had this sharp pain in my navel and
around the right side of my abdomen. The
ab soreness feels like the soreness one
would experience after doing situps or
crunches, but only in this centralized
location. My navel area is very sensitive
to the touch (sharp pain) and I also have
this, what I can only describe as
"bloated" or "full" feeling most of the
day. There are no fluids excreting from my
navel area, no pain during urination,
bloody stool or urine, nor is there any
odor, which some others have mentioned. Is
this the onset of some kidney/colon issue?
Appendictis? Any insight into these
symptoms would be greatly appreciated.

sonds more like the symptoms of an
Umbilical hernia. Is there a lump when you
bear down or do a sit up? If so go see
your doc. If you have a hernia it's an
easy surgical fix.
i had a hernia like that and my belly
button area was really sensitive, but once
they fixed it it is fine and i can touch
that area with no pain whatsoever

I can tell you that im almost positive it
isnt a appendicitious. If it was you would
no because the pain is unbearable. Its
hard to stand or walk and after 48 hours
it bursts (the infection goes to your
blood stream).
