Hi

 

I have a problem. Sometimes a get a pain behind my belly button when I pee. It's so incredibly painful that I've become very very paranoid. Now luckily it only lasts a few minutes and with the aid of two strong pain killers it goes away for another 5 months or so. I've looked it up and apparently theres a cord that links your belly button to your bladder and thats what causes it.

The problem is I seem to get it alot when I've either been sitting in one position for along time whether it's hunched over or sitting up right, or sometimes it happens when I've been doing excessive physical work.

It comes in two forms. It either suddenly just happens if I twist my body or stand up quick, then I feel a tight sensation in my groin followed by a pain in my belly button, and then when I breathe in and my stomach goes out, I get a slight pain in the right side of my belly button. When I go to the toilet I'm bent over double.

The other form is when I've been doing alot of physical work involving alot of abdominal movement. It starts as a dull ache in my right hand side of my stomach, and a numb and heavy sensation in my abdomen. After that the pain starts in stomach and then goes down to my bladder rather than starting in my bladder like the pain that I get.

 

Unfortunatly, this means I can't exercise. I'm getting abit of belly on me because I got made redundant so I became abit of a foody to cure the boredom. I'm working now and I've cut down my eating but the belly has stayed but I'm afraid to do abdominal exercise to get rid of it due to this pain issue. It really is a nasty pain and it's got to a point that the slightest little complaint around that region makes me panic and get all paranoid. I'm so afraid of this pain even though I know it doesn't last long. I mean, I've had kidney stones, and I was less afriad of those than I am of this pain.

 

It's started to effect me. I feel as though I don't wanna go out or stay overnight in places incase I get it as it really does ruin the moment when I get it.

Not sure what to do.
