Belly pain - is it just gas?

lildarlin · September 9, 2007

Anyone else experience this? I still get a fair amount of gas - lots of toots sometimes! But for the past several months I get pain right about where your waistband would be, about at the belly button, maybe a little higher. I can lay in bed and press down and feel tenderness. Sometimes after I press, or while I'm pressing I can hear a gurgle or feel what I assume is gas moving.

This is really annoying....I am assuming it's intestinal gas and nothing to worry about. Does anyone else ever have pain in that area? I meant to ask my dr. the last time I went, but I forgot. It's not a pain I have every day, but when it happens I'll have the tenderness for a few days.

Thanks!

My port is in that are and it bothers me. My doc said the port site can be tender for up to a year. If I do somethign strenous then it bothers me or if I sleep wrong on it. Don't know if that's your problem though.
