My son is 11 years old and he is having sharp stinging pains around his navel, He had also had the same kind of pain last year and they did a xray, and MRI in his stomach showing up nothing. The pain does not cause him to lose sleep he said it does not hurt while he sleeps but he said it is like a wasp is stinging his stomach what could be causing this

Hi...by what you quote this could be chronic pain abdomen. Most of the times we do not find a reason for it even after extensive investigations. I have a few questions and suggestions for you -

Questions-
1. How many months is he having the problem?
2. Is there any family history of gall or kidney stones?
3. Did he have urinary tract infection in the past?
4. Anybody else in the family is having a similar problem?
5. Does he have constipation?

Suggestions-
1. Non-specidifc mesenteric lymphadenopathy is likely in this age group.
2. Serious problem cannot go on for months together without manifesting with complications.

Kindly get back with answers to above questions. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below -
