A member asked:
Can you strain a muscle in your belly button by over stretching or turning the wrong way? i had my appendix out 2 yrs ago. possible adhesions or scar tissue? feel it every now and then?

It's quite possible to strain abdominal muscles by stretching & twisting. Classic adhesion symptoms are rather severe cramping when intestines become blocked. Check your umbilicus or scar to see if there's a tiny hernia. Consult an abdominal surgeon as needed for evaluation and advice.
