What Causes Sharp Pain Around The Navel?
My my daughter is 25 had a sharp pain around her navel around 10 am yesterday. It lasted 2-3 mins. Go away and come back every 10 mins. It was really sharp pain. By 2 pm it went away. Came back at 6pm last night. No pain since, but she states it feels heavy when she s up walking. Could it be her appendix?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Great , This can very well be appendicitis.
You have given a text-book picture of appendicitis.
The pain - 4 hours - then a lucid period and then a dull ache.
Go for an ultrasonography and confirm it by CT scan .
A good clinician can tell on physical examination.
If appendicitis , get operated . Do not wait in female patients.
