Question:
Pain - few inches to left of umbilicus

I have this pain a few inches to the left of my belly button especially if I bend over or even when I was getting out of a recliner today. It is not constant and I don't feel anything when I palpate the area. What could this be? It hurts for just a few second and even some when I push on this area.    — Kimmers22399 (posted on January 26, 2003)

It could be a hernia. You should check with your doctor.
