A member asked:

Pain from belly button to the left side of abdomen. been there for about 4 days. seems to be worse when lying down. im female age 44?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: Persistent abdominal pain for 4 days warrants an examination by a physician or abdominal surgeon, especially if there's associated tenderness. I assume there has been no recent strain of an abdominal muscle. Possibilities include diverticulitis of the descending colon, inflammatory bowel disease or an umbilical hernia.
