Belly button really painful , although i have been prodding it to look to see if i can see a hernia!!
Drs tomorrow morning but im soo scared.
Has anyone had naval pain that has not been a hernia & will dr be able to diagnose it straight away.

Sharp pain around navel has returned this morning, it seems to be when i move in a certain way. Now panicking that gp has missed hernia.
SORRY TO KEEP POSTING ABOUT THIS.
another silly thought is that i didnt have a hernia when i visited the dr but have acquired one since, I did lift something quite heavy last night.
I think being really stressed and down at the moment doesnt help.
need to try and think rationally and focus on something else , but i am in pain x

SORRY to keep posting about same problem.
I have pain around my bellybutton, i thought i might have a hernia but dr said she couldnt feel anything.
Some days the pain is not to bad and at other times its there.
Ive got quite a fat stomach & am now thinking she may have missed it.
I know the answer is just to go back and ask again or maybe have a scan.
But are hernias easy to miss.
I do have ibs , so maybe its that .
