What Causes Pain In Belly Button ?
Hi,I have a history of kidney stones but prior to this time I never had pain in my belly button. This time I starting having pain in belly button then lower right side now it has moved into back. It is now dull pain in lower rt and back. Sharp pain when I touch my belly button or bend over. My doctor says it is not appendicitis and has checked liver, pancreas, and other organs in abdominal area. I have naseau but have not thrown up. Any ideas? Could this be another stone?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It can be kidney stone. There is something called referred pain where pain originated from kidney cause pain over the other parts of the abdomen because of similar nerve supply. As of now, get an ultrasound done to rule out any stones or other kidney related conditions. You can take antispasmodics like Hyoscine for symptomatic relief.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
