Just looking for some input on a bizarre pain I am experiencing around and to the left of my belly button. The pain is not internal and it is seemingly related to the muscles of my abdomen.
I didn't notice the pain until yesterday and even now it is only painful when I touch the area. I do not feel any masses or lumps but it does feel a little tender.
What can be causing this?? A muscle strain? Something else?
Any thoughts/anecdotes/similar experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
PS Some additional (possibly) relevant information:
-I rode 60 and 50 miles this Saturday and Sunday with Sprint Intervals on the second day. -I have already contacted my general practitioner but do not have an appt until Wednesday.
Forgive me for making light of your situation, which may be serious (but we all hope not), but when I saw your thread title, all I could think of was that perhaps you'd taken a cannon ball amidships, perhaps somewhere 'round the mizzenmast!
On reflection, however, I'm reasonably sure the word you meant to use is "navel".
