Suggest Remedy For Pain And Lump In Belly Button

Hi, I went to the doctors as I had pain in my belly button and I thought deeper, plus have a pea size lump inside my belly button on the right hand side deep inside it. My doctor recommended I have and ultrasound and the results are only showing soft tissue, they say not a hernia. I have been lifting weights at the gym and doing abdominal exercises. They haven't helped me with an outcome and I experience a burning sensation and pain still in belly button area throughout the day. Any suggestions as to what it is or what I can do to get better?

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. Your history and symptoms suggest like hernia - and ultrasound was the investigation of choice.
2.There might be very small defect which could not be detected on the ultrasound.
3.CT -computer tomography might be helpful to detect the anterior abdominal wall defect.
4.And try avoiding the weight lifting and abdominal exercises for some time and see - if relieved then possible cause could be hernia.
5.Onter possible cause could be musculoskeletal pain. Some times back spinal problems also can radiates the pain anteriorly.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
