What Causes Sharp Pain Close To The Navel?

I have a sharp/stabbing pain near my belly button, and i am worried it is appendicitis. I have no fever or vomiting though. The pain is manageable but consistent and seems to be worse than last night when it started. I don t want to waste the ER doc s time if it is something like gas though.
