I have the EXACT same thing right now.
I don't know what it is but because it rarely comes, it couldn't be too bad. I hope.
Here are my stats... It just happened to me about 15 minutes ago and now I'm just going to sit still. I'm afraid to stand or move quickly. I'm female, 49 and I can recall having this feeling periodically throughout the years since I was 11. I had my appendix out at 11, I'm not pregnant, nor ovulating - just finishing up period. My periods have been regular since I was 14. Doesn't feel like gas. Hunh. Any updates on your end? It feels as though the other side of my umbilical cord is being pulled on be an alien. OUCH!
I'm also feeling sharp pain coming from my belly button. I'm a 22 yr old male. I want to know what it could be.
I'm a 20 year old male and I've experienced whatever this is every couple of months for years. I remember it happening back before my teen years. It's a really awkward, sharp pain that threatens to temporarily restrict abdominal movement. Usually if you slowly stretch it eases up and eventually goes away. I have a very slim body type if that contributes anything.
it hurts so bad
