same pain 2 inches right of my navel..

[mommy_09_20_07]

Dottie i read your post and i have the same pain and it doesnt really have a schedule when it comes. Mine doesnt feel as big as yours mine is like the size of a dime or nickel.Im fine with dairy products and have no alergies and a clean bill of heath except this pain. I use to have the most miserable menstral cramps and be in bed for days (as the doctors none nothing) and after i gave birth to my son they eased up, but not gone.  Ive been to the doctors countless time and they dont seem to know what to say to me or even attempt to do any kind of tests. Im glad i seen your post because now im going to be presistant on getting this handled. i know im not the only one out there that has this problem and it helps. Sometimes the doc's make me feel like im making this all up. I know theres somethinig wrong and hopefully i can get back to you with an answer.


This discussion is related to pain near navel on right side what is there?.

Hi everyone. I have noticed the same pain and have also had a lot of tests. However I have found something very interesting, the pain is related to diet and antibiotics. For a couple of months I was on antibiotics and ever since I get these pains whenever I have seeds of any kind.  My guess is that I have become allergic to the proten in the seeds cases and this allergy flairs up in the duadenum (sp) just after the stomak and just about inches to the right of the navel. Get all thevtests done for the bad stuff but also have avlook at what your eating and see if it could be the culpret.
Best wishes

I am stunned to find so many people with the exact same thing I get - pain 1 1/2 to 2 inches to the right of my navel.  Sometimes sharp, sometimes dull, sometimes just tender.  I have had it for about 10 years.  Twisting in a certain way can bring it on - though not always.  I had an exploratory surgery after all the imagery tests were negative.  Surgery showed an inflection of the appendix which was removed and hernias which were repaired.  But pain persists.  I'm guessing its the valve that connects the stomach to the intestine.  Not sure how to treat.  Welcome your advice.  Also my pancreas flares up from time to time but less frequently now.  I have had my uterus.  Get night sweats past 2 years.  Age 59.

I came across your post and I know this is a few years later but if you are still reading and looking, I think perhaps your pain could be a result of endometriosis. Which does not show up on scans or MRIs.

I've visited this site several times as I suffer from many similar symptoms to those writing in frustration on this forum. But I may have an answer! And hopefully this might help.

It took quite a bit of research on the internet and 2 years of trying to convince one doctor. He literally kicked me out of his office and told me to go home. Said that there was nothing seriously wrong with me, and if there was, that I'd already be dead!

But after digging around I think I've found what's happening. Look up Spagelian Hernia and read about it. Its different from other hernias and considered very rare, but I have all the symptoms although nothing is showing up on the ultrasounds, which is typical of this kind of hernia. I had a CT scan and an x-ray 2 years ago but they weren't looking for a Spegelian hernia at that time. Oddly the x-ray technician said I had a hernia, but the doctor never said anything at that time 2 years ago, so I didn't pay any attention.

However about one month ago I was out shoveling snow on my walk and consequently immediately afterwards experienced an increasing pain about 2 inches to the right of my belly button. It was so bad I couldn't sit still for the rest of the evening. It occurred to me then that this was symptomatic of some kind of a hernia.

I have a large swelling - not a bump - on my right side, now much larger than the left side and is most visible when standing and sitting down as it sticks out. It hurts sometimes all the way to my back, down into my hip and lower right side, but aches almost all the time, and especially after eating a big meal. When it first appeared 2.5 years ago I had pains deep into my lower right side that made me think it was my appendix. The horizontal swelling on my right side between my b. button and my hip bone wasn't very apparent then.

They say the Spegelian hernia is rare, but maybe more of us do have it, and doctors don't know this because they can't see or diagnose it properly.

I'm going to my new doctor tomorrow armed with printouts from the internet regarding the Spegelian hernia. I'll let you know what happens!

A dull, constant pain, sometimes, randomly, it's sharp about 1.5" to 2" straight to the right of the belly button? I had that for almost 2 years in 2004 & now it's back.  3 dr's wanted to yank my gallbladder but saw nothing out of the ordinary.  I "fixed" it the first time by getting fats out of my diet.  This time, I'm trying only raw veggies, nuts & seeds (a digestive clean out protocol was suggested). I'm only on week 2 of that but still not helping.  It was interesting reading here about the person who's pain was agitated by seeds.  I took note of that.  Being a pretty nutritious person anyway, this is a mystery. I've scoured countless days on the net looking for something that resonates with me (or works). I was led to info the ileocecal valve reflex area (although, in my case, that seems too low to my pain) but it made sense that if that little area is problematic, maybe it would cause problems in the ascending colon which would be the area in pain.  

Anyway, what I really wanted to share was this article:
http://www.energyforliving.com.au/pinterest_18.html  because that spot on my foot has been really sore this whole time.  And I've just connected this today,.. when I had this before as well as right now, major relationships in my life are at an end, which is what this site is suggesting also needs to be attended to. Food for thought.
