pain just to the right of my belly button. whats wrong?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: Abdominal pain can have many causes when you see your doctor, they'll ask you many questions: is it worse before or after you eat? Are your bowel movements normal? How long has it been going on?  Any nausea? Does eating make it feel better?  The "differential" for abdominal pain is so big that you really deserve a thorough history and exam to get to the bottom of it.  Best of luck!

A muscle bruise or..: this could be a a bruised abdominal muscle that runs vertically along either side of the belly button (umbilicus).
