What Causes Abdominal Pain And Knot Above Belly Button?
My husband works on an assembly line, and today, he came home complaining of abdominal pain. It started on the right side of his stomach, and he said that whenever he moved a certain way, he felt a sharp pain about 5 inches below his heart. Now, I felt his stomach, where he says it hurts, and there is a huge knot right above his belly button. I do not know if it's hard or tender, because as soon as I touched it, he winced and jumped back from me. I want to take him to the ER, but he's fighting me on this. What can it be?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Similar pains are seen in the patients with hernias, gastric ulcers and similar things, Gall bladder stones do gives such picture.
2.Diifcult to jump for any diagnosis, initially if he is my patient, i would ask for an ultrasound abdomen pelvis get done and a plain x-ray erect abdomen and chest.
3.Take to ER as soon as you can, they will perform all needful investigations.
4.Hope it will helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
