Could Belly Button Pain Be Due To Appendicitis?
My husband is having pain to the right of his belly button. He thinks it might be a pulled muscle. It hurts when he presses on it or moves certain ways. There is pain when he moves quickly and in certain postitons. If he is laying still there is no pain. He feels good otherwise. No fever, no nausea, no diahrea/constipation. He first noticed this during the night when he got out of bed (about 18 hours ago). Does this sound like appendicitis?
